“LIFT!”
Numbers 6:26
“The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”
In my mind, Numbers 6:26 is one of the most beautiful blessings to be found in the Holy Bible. Too often it is easier to give people a blasting rather than a blessing. We can act so spiritual until it comes to truly caring about those around us.
As I read today's passage once again I notice that the blessing implores the Lord to be the One to do the work. Many times we do the work ourselves and then implore the Lord to bless it. It is like praying for Him to bless our mess!
The word "lift" implies something being raised up. That means we can never be content to let things lie around, but elevated. There are so many times in our life when the burdens of living seem to flatten us out. It is during these times that we need the power of the Lord to lift us above the circumstances.
If you find yourself suffering under the stress of life, I have a project for you. I think there are over 200 references for the word LIFT in the Bible. Get a good concordance and begin discovering the revelation that God really does lift us up!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
