When His Face Shines

Over the past few days, I have read Numbers 3:31-6:27 and Luke 8:30-10:27. My favorite verses are:

Numbers 6:24-26 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Luke 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

God wants His people to be blessed. He wants to give us grace and peace. When God lifts His face and it shines on us, we have everything we need. We can depend on Him as completely as a little child depends on his father. God has made Himself plain to children; He honors their childlike faith and trust. Jesus loved children, so He rejoiced in knowing that His own Father God revealed Himself to those children.
