Faith's Checkbook (By: C.H. Spurgen)

                                                       He Blesses and Keeps

                           The Lord bless you and keep you.
                                                                                                          ~ Numbers 6:24

   "What a joy to abide under the divine blessing! This puts a gracious flavor into all things. If we are blessed, then all our possessions and enjoyments are blessed; even our losses and disappointments are blessed! God's blessing is deep, emphatic, and effectual. A man's blessing may begin and end in word's, but the blessing of the Lord makes rich and sanctifies.
  It is equally a delightful thing to be kept of God: kept by Him, kept near Him, kept in Him: They are kept indeed whom God keeps: they are preserved from evil; they are reserved unto boundless happiness. God's keeping goes with His blessing to establish it and cause it to endure.

  May the rich blessing and sure keeping here pronounced come upon every reader who may at this moment be looking at these lines. Please breathe the text to God as a prayer for His servants." (Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Mintue Devotions)
