August 14, 2018 Our Daily Journey Daily Devotional : Topic - A Blessing of Peace

- ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Scripture Reading - Numbers  6 : 22 - 27
In our nightly prayers with our children, my husband and I like to end with the words Moses used when he instructed Aaron and his sons to bless God’s people (Numbers 6:24-26). This benediction reminds each family member that God loves it when we ask for His protection, favor, grace, and peace.

The blessing has a rich history. Bible scholars believe it was given to Aaron and his descendants because they were the priests who led the Israelites in worship. God wanted the benediction to be used in worship so that His words of blessing would be woven into the lives of His people. In addition, its threefold format has suggested to some believers that it anticipates the Trinity—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Indeed, many call it the “three-in-one” blessing.
In the first verse of the benediction that the Lord would “bless and protect” the people (Numbers 6:24), we can see how stating these words could remind them that they were God’s chosen and loved ones. The second verse, that the Lord would “smile on [them] and be gracious to [them]” (Numbers 6:25), could bring to mind Moses’ experience on the mountaintop. With his face shining, he carried down the book of the law (Exodus 24:13-18, 34:29-30). And the third verse, that the Lord would “show you his favor and give you his peace” (Numbers 6:26), is the climax of the blessing, with the word for peace—shalom—entailing not only an absence of conflict, but encompassing a sense of wholeness and wellbeing.
The Israelite priests said this blessing at the end of a service, a practice that continues today. As we bind these words to our hearts, may we accept them as a gift from our loving Father and live in the light of their truth each day.
NLT 365-day reading plan passage for today: Luke 15:1-10
