The Lord's Blessing

Psalm 4:8

In peace, I will lie down and sleep for You alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.

The Lord bless you and keep you...

God blesses you because He loves to bless His people and He wants His people to recognize that every blessing really comes from Him alone. The true blessing from God is greater than any kind of happiness or wealth or comfort. The part ‘keep you’ means His divine protection is upon you.

The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you…

The Lord's face represents a radiant light. He causes His face to shine on those who seek His face and who want to be a blessing for the glory of His name. God is gracious and He shows tender mercy and care for His people.

The Lord turns His face toward you and gives you peace…

He pays attention to his children as individuals. He promises peace since He is the Prince of Peace. You can be sure of His promise. 

God knows you by name and He loves to bless you. He protects you, knows, and fulfills your needs, gives you peace, and keeps His promises for you. 

Prayer

Dear God, thank You for Your great love and blessing upon my life. Let me walk in Your blessing and goodness today. May Your face shine on me. Amen.
