Numbers 5; Numbers 6; Psalm 22; Acts 26

May The Lord Bless You And Protect You;

May The Lord’s Face Radiate With Joy Because Of You;

May He Be Gracious To You, Show You His Favor, And Give You His Peace.

Scripture

Numbers 6

24-26 ‘May the Lord bless and protect you; may the Lord’s face radiate with joy because of you; may he be gracious to you, show you his favor, and give you his peace.’

Observation

So glad to be back home after spending almost a month in India! I left behind in India some great new friends that are doing some incredible things to further the Gospel there in their country.

We had the privilege while in the villages of India of praying personally with over 1,500 people. As we walked through the villages so many of the people wanted us to pray for them and their family. It was an honor to be able to pray for them. I thought of what the Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:20 “So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us…”

I prayed Numbers 6:24-25 over them (Eddy’s paraphrased version). I asked God to draw them close to Him and I asked God to open up their hearts to spiritual things and that if they didn’t know Him I asked God to help them trust in Jesus Christ. We prayed for healing and we prayed for any other special request that they shared with us. 

Next to sharing the Gospel message there was nothing more important for the people of India than to pray for them! Come to think of it is the most important thing we can do for the people living here in our city too!

I come back from India with even more confidence in the power of prayer. God’s Holy Spirit wants to do so much more in our lives and in the lives of those that He brings into our paths.

 Application

I will ask people this week if I can pray for them. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, for those reading this I pray that You bless them and protect them. May Your face radiate with joy because of them. May You be gracious to them. Show them Your favor. Give them Your peace.
