MFM Daily Devotional May 30, 2022 MESSAGE
Yesterday, we started looking at what the Aaronic blessing stand for. We confirmed that it is the will of God to bless His people. According to our Fire Scripture today, you will discover that though God delights in blessing His Children, it is based on obedience. Yesterday also, we considered the statement: “The Lord bless you” and what it means.
Other components of the Aaronic blessing include: “The Lord keep you.” The word “keep” here means protection. The Lord is our Shepherd who keeps watch over His own.
The Aaronic blessing which is the blessing of God that comes from heaven will build a hedge of protection around you only if you make Him your Shepherd.
“The Lord make His face shine upon you.” This is the light of God upon you that will give you joy, light, and radiance that will make you to stand out and to glow in darkness.
“The Lord be gracious unto you.” This signifies kindness and help from God. God was gracious unto you when He forgave your sins and saved you through His son Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
“The Lord lift up His countenance upon you.” This involves God taking you into His presence to see His face. This is a picture of a Father smiling and taking pleasure in His child, which you are.
Lastly, “The Lord give you peace.” Jesus said in John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you, let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
This is the work of the Holy Spirit in your life — to give you everlasting peace. This is not like the peace which the world offers, but the peace of God which comes with the absence of conflict. God’s peace is confident assurance in any circumstance or situation. The peace of God in you will take away fear, doubt, uncertainty and numerous forces that are at war within you. Beloved, Jesus Christ is ready to give you that blessing of peace only if you are willing and ready to accept it from Him.
