Three in One

“And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying. . .The Lord bless and keep thee: The Lord make His face to shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee. And the Lord lift up His countenance upon thee and give thee peace.” Numbers 6:22, 24–26

The Lord (Yahweh) prescribed this form of benediction for His appointed priests to speak in His name, dismissing the people after an assembly. They were His spokesmen, but He was and still is the Blesser. The New Testament sheds light on the word Lord used three times as Paul spoke a similar blessing: “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 Cor 13:14). Three persons—yet one God. Just as God’s people in the Old Testament had to be prepared to receive His blessings, so must we. God will bless, protect, and sustain His followers. God looks on His children with favor and surrounds us with lovingkindness. Our Father lifts His face upon us with divine approval and gives us a tranquil heart and life when we are rightly related to Him. 

God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit want to bless and be in communion with you. Are you prepared to receive all He wants to pour out on you?
