Episode 33 | A Reflection on ‘The Blessing’

From 2020 to 2023, the world was on lockdown during the COVID-19 global pandemic. It was during this time that the Lord provided the world with hope through the song titled, “The Blessing”. The lyrics of this song are straight from Scripture, specifically from Numbers 6:24-26. This prayer of blessing (sometimes referred to as the Priestly Blessing or the Aaronic Blessing) was given with the promise that “I will bless them”. In this episode, I reflect on the hope that God provided the world through this song at a time when it was very much needed, and it is still a blessing for us today.
