Contemplative Bible Reading

Numbers 6: (New Living Translation)

22 Then the Lord said to Moses, 23 “Tell Aaron and his sons to bless the people of Israel with this special blessing:

24 ‘May the Lord bless you and protect you.
25 May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.
26 May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.’

27 Whenever Aaron and his sons bless the people of Israel in my name, I myself will bless them.”

Verses 24 through 26 are something we can surely repeat on almost any occasion. Perhaps if we say these words, God will bless the recipients. It is worth the time.
