“‘May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.’”
Numbers 6:24-26 NLT
The blessing of the Lord is His smile, His gracious favour and peace. As an earthy father might look upon his newborn child, the Father looks upon us when we are His through faith in Jesus.
Yesterday as my friends and I trekked we knew God’s favour. We saw His beauty and rejoiced in His glory. We stopped at one place to have a pit stop and a cup of tea with our lunch. The pit was disgusting but we did not let it disuaded us from enjoying our tea and lunch. Along the way there was much rubbish but lifting our eyes to the hills we exulted in the glory before us.
Coming down from the mountain we saw many youths going up and wondered if they would also pollute the hill or pick up their refuse. It is as if many Nepali people are unaware to the need for caring for their land. Even though bins are provided, they trash where they eat. Wild dogs do not help matters.
However, we took our rubbish and did not dwell on the sins of others but rather enjoyed what our God had made. His goodness was ever before us. We sang songs of praise.
Our God does not destroy, and we His people must represent Him in this. We spoke well to people and prayed for those in need. This is our mandate. We are salt and light in this world. Amen!
