Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 5 November 2019


The Blessing
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.(Numbers 6:22-27)

Today’s Morsel:  I have a neighbor who has been suffering with a medical condition.  But he’s very upbeat and positive about his healing and recovery.  When he knows that he must go in for a procedure or checkup, he always tells me that he will be over for a blessing.  In other words, he wants me to pray for him.  Scripture says, “And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.”  From a Christian standpoint, Paul seems to always bless the people at the end of each letter.  He told the church at Corinth: “Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Greet one another with an holy kiss. All the saints salute you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen (2 Corinthians 13:11-14)   To the church at Rome, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.(Romans 16:24)  To the church at Galatia, “Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.(Galatians 6:18)  To the church at Ephesus, “Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.(Ephesians 6:23-24)  And to the church at Philippi, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.(Philippians 4:23)  Have you bestowed a blessing on anyone lately?  Try it and you will see how the blessing falls back on you.  

Sing: My blessing is coming my way, it’s only a matter of time, until His purpose comes to pass, it’s only a matter of time.  I’m waiting for a miracle, I’m waiting for a miracle, I’m waiting for a miracle, overtaken by a blessing.

Thought For Today:  If you want someone to be blessed, pray in Jesus name upon them.
