BLESSING ISRAEL
Today's reading: Numbers 21-24
"...Blessed is everyone who blesses you, O Israel, and cursed is everyone who curses you." Numbers 24:9 NLT
Just so you know...
You needn't be a scholar of Israel to bless them.
You don't have to even be able to locate the nation of Israel on a map.
Or speak Hebrew or Aramaic.
Or be able to pronounce the names of the many towns or people the Bible refers to in regards to this great nation.
To bless Israel is as simple as a one line prayer...
Lord, guide those who rule in Israel's government.
God, lead nations to uphold and support Israel in their times of need.
Father, keep Your hand of protection on this little, but mighty, nation of Yours.
God, raise up a remnant of believers in the nation of Israel that will lead more of them to You.
Lord, continue Your faithfulness to Israel.
The Bible tells us that when we intentionally bless Israel, God will bless us. Why wouldn't we? A nation that close to our Father's heart should be close to ours as well.
