Numbers 6:22-27 (NKJV)
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:
24 “The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.” ’
27 “So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.”
WOW! I added verse 27, did you read it? The Lord desires to have His name put on us. The honor and prestige to have the Lord's name put upon us. We are that valuable to Him. The Lord desires His name to be upon us. He wants the world to know we are His. That is a big deal. What an honor for the Lord to want His name put upon us! He wants everyone to know, we are His.
You and I are sanctified, we are called and chosen by the Lord. He has set us aside for His own, to be His own.
Why does the Lord want to bless you? Because He wants His name upon your life. He wants everyone to you that you are His.
Why does the Lord keep you? Because He wants His name upon your life. He wants everyone to you that you are His.
Why does the Lord make His face to shine upon you? Because He wants His name upon your life. He wants everyone to you that you are His.
Why is the Lord gracious to you? Because He wants His name upon your life. He wants everyone to you that you are His.
Why does the Lord lift up His countenance upon you? Because He wants His name upon your life. He wants everyone to you that you are His.
Why does the Lord give you peace? Because He wants His name upon your life. He wants everyone to you that you are His.
These are the things that set you and I apart from the world. These are the things that identify our Lord in our life. His blessing identifies the Lord in our life. His protection and provision (keeping) identify the Lord in our life. His face shining upon us identifies the Lord in our life. The Lord being gracious to us, giving us unmerited favor and the ability to overcome, identifies the Lord as in our life. The Lord lifting up His countenance when we enter the room, walk in His ways, demonstrate His love and bring glory to His name, identify the Lord in our life. When chaos happens and we receive the Lord's peace, the Lord is on display in our life. When we bless and receive His blessing, His name is upon us.
Father, I stand in awe of You. I want to wear Your name well. I want to bring honor to Your name. You are amazing in all of You ways. This is no different. You desire to bless me beyond what I could think or imagine. You have placed Your name upon me. I pray I honor You in all I do and say. It is my desire. I know I have not done this well and I know Your forgiveness and grace are there to receive me back, to clean me up and to set me on my feet. You do not turn me away when I sin or dishonor You name. You do not take Your name from me. I pray I will not be overcome with guilt or shame. I pray I will humble myself and come before You to receive your cleansing power to make me whole again. Because Your name cannot be taken away from me once You have given it to me, I want to wear it well. I want to bring honor and glory to You. You are my Lord and I receive Your blessing upon me life. I receive Your name and bring honor to You in Jesus' name amen.
