Devotions-Be Blessed

100_1821Numbers 6:24 "The Lord bless you and keep you." This word bless means "to confer well-being or prosperity" but in this Scripture we don't get many details. This bestowed blessing seems to be very broad as if to imply; those being blessed are in for a blessing that completely covers their entire hopes and needs. How great is that? To know that God is in control and covers us providing for our every need. He is so wonderful and wants to bless His children.

Philippians 4:19 says "And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Isn't God rich enough in Christ to fulfill His promises, to provide for our needs? Isn't He also generous enough to show His love to His daughters and to tend to our every need with great kindness and care?

Reflection: God often said "Be blessed!" to his ancient people and their needs and difficulties parted. Let us also believe, hope and pray for this for us today. That we would know God's blessing and love and the power that it holds even for us in this very moment. He is mighty to save, our protector and strong tower ladies, sisters... Let's trust in Him to provide for us the need we may have even in this instant. Let's think about some of the ways God has been generous to us; ways He's met our needs, and let's give Him all the glory and praise!

Prayer: Dear Father God, you are holy and righteous, loving and kind. Thank you for blessing us and being the provider of our every need and salvation. Lord, help us to draw near to you and pray seeking you will and trusting in your blessings for us, your love and care. Help us to also love ourselves as we ought to teaching us our worth in you as women of God.
