Blessings of His Name

“So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.” Numbers 6:27 (NIV)

Where the name of the Lord is cherished, the presence of the Lord is free to bless His people in fellowship. Our God inhabits the praise of His people, and like the priesthood of the Israelites, pastors today are called to pray the blessings of the Lord among the fellowship they shepherd. The name of the Lord is the very character of our God and in His name is His presence.

Our homes and our churches should be all about embracing our identity as a child of God and lifting up the name of our Lord in teaching, worship, prayer, and conversations. When we do, we will see God’s blessings.

Let’s pray today that we may choose to praise the name of Jesus in our daily conversations.
