March 11: Protection

Scripture Lesson: Numbers 6:22-27

On this date in 1958, the American League began requiring all hitters to bear batting helmets, joining the National League which had adopted the practice in 1954. Technology has come a long way in batting helmet design and safety since the 1950s. Take a few minutes and Google the old batting helmets to see the difference.

In today’s Scripture, Moses taught Aaron how to bless the Israelites. These verses are some of the most beautiful words in all Scripture. “The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you, the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.” There is no better protection this side of heaven than to have God keeping us and showering us with His presence. How wonderful to know that our God loves us this much, desiring to protect us, to be with us, to bless us, and to give us peace. In the busyness of life, we often neglect that abiding presence of God that protects and blesses us!
