The Priest Blessing!

Num 6:17-7:2         10/25/2017

“The Lord bless you and keep you! The Lord let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you! The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace.”

God tells Aaron and his sons how to bless the people. A little counter-intuitive perhaps, from a post-modern with the extemporaneous habit of praying anyway I want. But it’s a form – not in a bad sense. It’s the structure of how to bless as given by God.

God is love. Love is a choice. Sometimes you don’t feel like loving. Love anyway. Do good to those who despitefully abuse you.

Sometimes you don’t feel like blessing. Bless anyway. This is how.

Do this.
