God wants to bless you

"(24)The LORD bless you and keep you; (25) the LORD make His face shine upon you,and be gracious to you; (26) the LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace."                                                                   Numbers 6:24-26.  NKJV

How much God wants to bless you! Each day, His desire is to show you favour, increase in all prosperity and protection. Verse 25 says that He wants to: 'Make His face shine upon you.' Quite simply, God wants to smile upon you as He takes great pleasure in seeing you and being with you each day. He takes great interest in you - the worshiper. He is gracious, loving and favourable towards you. That in itself is amazing; but there's more.

He daily looks upon you (V26) and provides you with His peace and the provision of all things necessary for your well-being. In other words, He takes great care of you and all you need. His blessing knows no end. He just loves to do this - to show you great favour, blessing you with His presence and showering you with His peace. And His peace is far better than the world could ever offer:

'You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.'                                                                              Isaiah 26:3

This perfect peace is Shalom Shalom and this covers a multitude of blessings for you.
Furthermore, Jesus said in John 14:27, 'Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you, not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.' His peace surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) because the source is Jesus Himself. There is no need to worry or fear, no matter what you face. He has your back and is leading you to victory. The blessing God has for you is far higher than happiness, wealth or comfort. 

And for a closing thought: If God smiles upon you each day, why should you fret and worry in the first place?
