“The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”
Numbers 6:24-25
“Shine upon signifies God’s favor, blessing, and presence. It’s a metaphor for God’s illuminating one’s path and granting peace and well-being.
The prayer reflects a desire for God’s guidance and protection, particularly in times uncertainty and difficulty.
The idea of God’s light shining on His people connects to the belief in God’s ultimate revelation in Jesus Christ, who is described as the “light of the world.”
The phrase also serves as a reminder to live in a way that reflects God’s light, by demonstrating compassion, kindness, and love towards others.”
