BB.032.VIKING BOER – SHORT BIBLE BITES – God – Esteem
“The LORD bless you, and keep you; the LORD make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up His countenance on you and give you peace.” (Num 6:24-26)
This is the blessing Aaron was told to give the children of Israel. The greatest blessing they could have was to have God shine upon them.
Forget about self-esteem. Self-esteem is dependent on self. Does my ego drive my value? No thanks. My ego can be deflated by a bad night’s sleep or a passing criticism from my neighbor. My ego can be overinflated by watching others fail or by a false sense of security.
Give me this blessing. If the Lord blesses us then we are truly blessed. If the Lord values us, then we are truly valuable. If His face shines on me then my face truly shines. Moses taught us that.
Forget self-esteem. How does God esteem you?
“As the Father has loved Me [Jesus], so have I loved you. Abide in My love.” (John 15:9)

BibleBites are small, bite-sized snacks of wisdom from God’s Word.
I hope you enjoy it and come back often!“All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”
(2Timothy 3:16)“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
from the mouth of God.” (Matt. 4:4)
