My face will shine upon you all the days of your life.
Numbers 6:25 (WEB)
Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you.
We live in a part of Canada where it is very cloudy during the winter months. Sometimes we can go weeks without seeing the sun. When the sun does finally come out, the feeling of exhilaration is almost indescribable. The gloomy effect of gray skies day after day can really take a toll on a person's emotional well-being.
Today's promise comes from the priestly blessing in Numbers 6, which the Lord instructed Moses to pray over Israel daily. In this blessing from the Lord, Moses tells the people that the face of the Lord will shine upon them all the days of their lives. Can you imagine living each day aware of the brightness and warmth of our God and Father's countenance?
Even though clouds come our way, we can rise above them (just like we can in an airplane) and still see His face shining on us. My prayer today is that each and every one of us would feel the warmth of His love and the brightness of His face shining upon us. We are not called to walk through this life alone. Our Father watches over us every step of the way.

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you for shining the light of your love on me all the days of my life. Even when my circumstances seem to be surrounded by clouds, your loving countenance still emanates above whatever blurs my vision. Help me to walk in the reality of your loving acceptance, even in times when I struggle to believe it is true.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
