The Blessing Of His Name
The Blessing of His Name
“So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them.” Numbers 6:27
God is brimming over with blessing and his name is full of blessing.
When God gave Moses and the leaders of Israel the authority to speak a blessing over the people, he also gave the outcome of that spoken blessing: So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them.
God warns against using his name carelessly, “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God” (Exodus 20:7.)
When you speak a blessing, you are putting God’s name on people. This means that God does not want you to recklessly speak blessing either.
The privilege of speaking a blessing is a sacred honor. Just as sacred as speaking God’s name.
And that is a promise.
Loving Father, you have blessed me with the sacred honor of speaking your blessing and speaking your name. I receive this calling with humility, respect, and gratitude in Jesus name.
