MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Wednesday April 1, 2020
Topic: Benediction 1
Text: Numbers 6:24
Today
and tomorrow, we shall be looking at the prayer of benediction the priest says
at the close of church services, meetings and fellowships. In our text for the
day, we have blessings as contained in our benediction – The Lord, bless and
keep you. It is a prayer asking God to bestow upon us all manner of blessings
both temporal and spiritual.
God’s
blessings of His Covenant people include receiving food and provisions,
fertility in their fields and among their herds and cattle, and children (Lev.
26:3 – 15 & Deut. 28:1 - 14). May God bestow these blessing on you in Jesus
name!
Another
aspect of the Benediction is that God should keep us which means that God
should continue to preserve us as we have received His blessings and as we use
those blessings. It also means that God should keep us from sins and its bitter
effects.
Blessings
of God and protection from evil are the two most unquantifiable needs of
people. God will bless you with irrevocable blessings and keep you from evil
this month and always especially in a time like this when the world is face
with the deadly virus, coronavirus.
Unfortunately,
most people undermine this Benediction and walk out from church service before
dismissal. You should desire it always and even request your priest to say it
upon you and your family always.
Food for Thought: Why did God command Moses and Aaron to pronounce these blessings
on His people?
Memory verse: Psalm 121:7
Prayer:
Lord, grant me your blessings and protection now and always. Amen
