Moses throughout his life was one to bless others.  The end of his life was no different.  Here we see the various blessings he gives to the different tribes.

I especially liked his blessing to Benjamin.  It begins, "Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him".  Like Benjamin, we too are the Lord's beloved--his dearly loved children who are secure because we are loved.

Not only are we secure in his love, we are shielded by God all day long, "For he shields him all day long".  Nothing can separate us from his love.  Nothing will steal his attention from us.  He is there loving us, shielding us, protecting us.

He places us between his shoulders, carrying us as a child.  Resting between his shoulders, we are safe, secure and deeply loved.

The Lord loves you, protects us and allows you to rest between his shoulders.  May Benjamin's blessing be yours today.

With Joy,

Pastor Jeff
