The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
- Numbers 6:24-26
How amazing is it to rest in God’s embrace, knowing His peace surrounds us?
He generously lavishes blessing and protection upon us, sometimes without us even knowing.
Each day is a gift from God, in which we get to serve Him and enjoy a relationship with Him.
We are His cherished children. Just like we desire to spend time with our family, He wants to spend time with us!
Just imagine your child’s face when you surprise them with something good and unexpected.
Likewise, God’s face is smiling, beaming with love and favor towards us, as He sees us through the lenses of forgiveness. He showers us with comfort and hope.
When the clouds of doubt block our faces from the Son of God, remember He is our respite from worry.
He has never left us, nor has His character or attributes changed.
Therefore, we must not forget that our circumstances shouldn’t let us see God differently.
Whatever you are going through today can draw you near to Him and His good and perfect plan. His love never wavers. Seek Him, and He will give you solace for your restless heart.
Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank You for reminding me that despite the clouds that come into my life, You are still the same. While my circumstances seem to hide You from me, You have not moved away from me. You never change. Help me to remember that You care for me and desire to give me comfort. Amen.
With Love,
Sherry Shepherd
