The Priestly Blessing is powerful. The Bible says life and death are in the power of the tongue and here we see an example. By saying a blessing "they will put my name on the Israelites." I want the name of Jesus to be on me! Can you imagine walking daily with a word of blessing upon you? Bless someone today in the Name of Jesus!
The precious Christmas story never grows old. As you read this very familiar passage just remember all the miracles that God orchestrated while the world slept. He reveal his secret to only a precious few and boy did they have a story to tell! My favorite is Mary who ponders all these things in her heart remembering the visit from the angel 9 months before. Knowing her son was God but yet not knowing all the special surprises God had in store for her.
Oh heed the warning! The youth lacked judgement. Let us inquire of the Lord and obey his Word to obtain the wisdom to avoid temptation. Very sad how the young man lacked judgement and followed the temptation. We are living in a world FULL of the perfect adultery in the sense of sin looking pleasurable. Oh not it is not pleasureable but only for a season and then the husband is coming home and the young man is in trouble!

What stuck me this time going through Numbers 6 and the priestly blessing... is how it came after God called them to be "separate" with their lives. It reminded me of Jdg 5:2 "When Israel's leaders take charge, and the people gladly follow-- bless the LORD!"
When God's men and woman decide to lead and "take charge" of holiness... others will follow.
Fellas... are we leading ourselves to God's Word daily, prayer and drawing nigh in daily fellowship with Jesus? Then, our families will follow and our children will go where we have paved the way.
Lord, please help us to take charge and to make our lives a separate people for Your glory!
