GOD’S WORD FOR YOU NUMBERS 6:25b … and be gracious to you. We need to look at grace from two angles. The first is to see grace as it comes from God. Grace is a unique kind of love that God has. No one else truly has this kind of love. It is love we […]

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU NUMBERS 6:25a 25 The LORD make his face shine on you… The phrase “make his face shine” compares God and his unseen but obvious blessings to the sun shining; the glory of daylight chasing away the shadows, fears, and uncertainties of night. “Until the day breaks and the shadows flee” is […]
God’s Word for You – Numbers 6:24b The LORD keep you…
