Greetings and thank you so much for joining us throughout the course of the week. The last two weeks, we’ve been looking at total shalom and different aspects and scriptures to it, little meditations, little nuggets everyday things that we can think about/ reflect on and try and apply in our lives and pursue for ourselves and say, God, I want to live in a place of total shalom, I want to be in a place of perfect peace, no matter what goes on, I want to dwell there. This is something God desires for us. Very interesting in the Old Testament, God gave instruction to His priests, He said, here is how I want you to bless my people. In my name, representing me, I want you to speak these words over my people. In other words, God is speaking this over and over again over His people. What did He tell them? Numbers chapter 6, verses 23 to 27, ‘Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them: The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace/ shalom. So, they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.’ God was telling His priest, I want you to bless my people and tell them, may God do this for you, may He lift up His own countenance, meaning may He look so favorably, just causing His favor to come upon you, that is what that phrase means, lift up His countenance and make His face shine upon you. What will happen? He will cause His grace and shalom to abound in your life. He says, this is what I want you to speak over my people. Why do you think God wanted His priests to keep saying these on His people? Because that is what He wanted His people to have. He wanted His people to enjoy His favor, enjoy His abounding grace and His total shalom. This is true for us today. It was true in the Old Testament and even more so in the new, it’s a better covenant and so, may you and I, receive, live and enjoy and walk in total shalom because that is what God wants for you and me. The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you, the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you total shalom. Let’s pray, Father, I just pray for every individual, every household that is listening in, we pray that they will be blessed with total shalom. Enable us to live in a place of perfect peace, spirit, soul and body, everything in our world under total shalom, may that be our experience journeying through life, that we will walk in shalom, in Jesus’s name, Amen.
