the LORD make his face shine upon you (and RESTORE you)




The Light of your face (Misty Edwards)

The LORD said to Moses,  "Tell Aaron and his sons, 'This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:
 24 " ' "The LORD bless you
       and keep you;
 25 the LORD make his face shine upon you
       and be gracious to you;
 26 the LORD turn his face toward you
       and give you peace." '
 27 "So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them."

I woke up this morning with the song from Numbers 6:23-27  on my mind....along with this is the idea that we were made to gaze upon Him.....Tonight I found myself unable to ask Him for anything, because all I could do was THANK him for being there, for holding out his hand, for smiling back at me, for being my friend, for giving so much......My children probably thought I had lost it.  I played this song while we ate dinner.....but this time it didn't even matter.  I wanted to thank Him.

At work today, I had to present something with absolutely no time to prepare.  I babbled, spoke about something I knew nothing about, even misread the slide on the screen in front of 40 people....nobody noticed.  Several people came up afterward and said GREAT JOB!  I knew it was nothing, absolutely nothing but GODs FAVOR. 

May his Face SHINE upon you too....and RESTORE you.  :)

 Restore us, O God;
       make your face shine upon us,
       that we may be saved.       Psalm 80:3

 Restore us, O God Almighty;
       make your face shine upon us,
       that we may be saved.    Psalm 80:7

 Restore us, O LORD God Almighty;
       make your face shine upon us,
       that we may be saved. Psalm 80:19
