The Bible is full of blessings. From Aaron's blessing in Numbers 6 to the Beatitudes in Matthew 5, blessing is woven through Scripture. These verses are for prayers of blessing, baby dedications, weddings, and any moment that calls for speaking goodness over a life.
“The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.”
The Aaronic blessing.
“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly... his delight is in the law of the LORD.”
The blessed life rooted in God's word.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit... Blessed are they that mourn... Blessed are the meek...”
The Beatitudes.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.”
Every spiritual blessing in Christ.
“I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.”
Blessed to be a blessing.
Receive God's blessings with gratitude. Speak blessing over your spouse, children, friends. Use the Aaronic blessing. Be a blessing.
Numbers 6:24-26 — 'The LORD bless thee, and keep thee.' God told Moses to instruct Aaron and his sons to bless Israel with these words. It is the oldest blessing in continuous Jewish and Christian use.
Speak Scripture over them. Use Numbers 6:24-26. Pray a specific blessing. Many parents bless their children at bedtime. Pastors close services with blessings. Speaking blessing is biblical and powerful.
Matthew 5:3-12 — Jesus' opening of the Sermon on the Mount. Eight (or nine) blessings declaring God's favor on those the world overlooks. The kingdom of God is upside-down.
