Title: Priestly Blessings!

-
Numbers 6:26  The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
Devotion: Numbers 6:26 is part of the "Priestly Blessing", a sacred prayer that God instructed Moses to teach Aaron and his sons to bless the Israelites. This blessing is found in Numbers 6:22-27 and was given during the Israelites' journey through the wilderness after their liberation from Egypt. It was a time of uncertainty and challenges, and this blessing served as a powerful reminder of God's presence, favor, and peace with those who trust Him.
  The phrase "The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace" signifies God's attention and favor toward His people. In biblical terms, God's "countenance" refers to His face or presence. When God lifts His countenance, it symbolizes His approval, grace, and peace being bestowed upon the individual.
In the Bible are several incidents of God's blessings on His people. You too can receive such blessings if you give your life to Christ. 
These are some of the examples:
1. Psalm 29:11: "The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace." This verse emphasizes God's gift of peace to His people.
2. Isaiah 26:3: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." It highlights the peace that comes from trusting in God.
3. John 14:27: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Jesus speaks of the divine peace He offers to His followers.
   These verses collectively underscore the importance of God's peace and presence in the lives of believers. Are you ready to receive God's peace and blessings, accept Christ as your Lord and Saviour today. Forsake your sins and start living in obedience. You'll have peace. Hallelujah!

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
