The Blessing

The Holy Spirit woke me up early in the morning with the song “The Blessing” on my heart. At the time I did not know that was the name of the song. I had heard the melody a few days earlier but didn’t know the words. This morning, I knew I needed to find out what the song was saying.

I love how God works. He never gives us everything at once but draws us closer and closer to Himself. He was starting a conversation with me, and He invited me to engage. The melody was the invitation. When I went to research the words, He started talking. I sat and let the melody He had put in my heart play over and over, and eventually a line of the song became clear. See, I was sitting listening to God, He was pouring out His blessing on me and I had no idea what He was doing. He is so good and loves us so much!

God is always giving us direction; He has a daily word for each of us. He is our commander! In prayer He tells us to ask for our daily bread. The bread is His Word, which gives us instructions and clarity on our assignment for the day. That morning I received encouragement and confidence in Him and in who I was in Him.

The song is written from multiple scriptures:

‘“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace”’ (Numbers 6:24-26).

“Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments” (Deuteronomy 7:9-10).

“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged” (Deuteronomy 31:8).

And all who are in agreement with those words, we say amen!
