[laughs] So I-- So there are some worship songs that become so familiar that we can almost sing them without even thinking about what we're actually singing.
Open it up to chapter six, and we're gonna jump into verses twenty-two through twenty-seven.
But it says, "The Lord spoke to Moses, 'Tell Aaron and his sons, this is how you are to bless the Israelites.
May the Lord look with favor on you and give you peace." In this way, they will pronounce my name over the Israelites, and I will bless them.'" So we sing those words over our families, our churches, our children, and our friends, but have you ever stopped to ask what exactly are we asking God to do when we sing these words? Because those lyrics aren't just beautiful.
The bless you doesn't simply mean, "God, give me lots of good things." You know? Um, just, just keep bringing it on.
A- a- and keep you is beautiful because there's this sense of God's guarding and watching over and preserving His people.
So let's also look at Psalm 121:7-8, where it says, "The Lord will keep you from all evil.
He will keep your life." So that gives you a really beautiful connection between blessing and keeping.
