24-289 Giving
Giving “something concrete or abstract bestowed on one person by another” The operative word in today’s definition is “bestowed”…it’s more than just the handing over of some random thing from one person to another…the “thing” is some form of gift or honor. It’s something that comes from the heart and/or has some positive meaning to it. Probably the most valuable “thing” we give someone is the…

Naming - intimate, powerful act bestowing identity
“Naming is an intimate, powerful act because it is about bestowing identity. Those who are named with God are part of his family and should bear a family resemblance. Above all, they should reflect his character. In this [Aaronic] blessing, that means that they will become mirrors of his shine.”- Tina Boesch
As Tina Boesch continues Chapter 4 of Given, she takes a look at the three phrases in the Aaronic blessing. The first phrase — may the Lord bless you and keep you — evokes the covenant blessing given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Thus, the continuity of blessing engenders trust. It demonstrates God’s reliability and faithfulness in honoring His promises.
In addition, the second and third phrases challenged what the Israelites expected in their relationship with God as it moved forward. Because the innovation in this blessing centers in shine. Hence, as Tina explains, living illuminated by the Lord’s shining face is the heart of the Aaronic blessing. Tina then describes that the phrase May Yahweh make his face shine on you stands for much more than poetic metaphor. The author states:
“The shine referred to in this blessing is not the shimmer of a flickering candle flame; it’s more like the blaze of the sun at noon in the desert. The shine is the glory of Yahweh’s presence — shine so intense, it’s blinding. This is the shine . . . that lit up Moses’ face when he hiked down from the peak of the mountain after God had given him the law. His shine radiated with such intensity that the people couldn’t stand to look him in the eye.”
Finally, Tina stresses that this blessing makes God’s desire brilliantly clear. He wants all people to see and experience His shine. This anticipates an intimate, face-to-face relationship with God.

Bestowing his favor all around us
“The funny thing is God is constantly bestowing his favor all around us — changing minds and hearts all around us — and all we need is the ‘eyes to see’ and ‘ears to hear,’ as Jesus said, to notice what is happening around us.”- Brian Jones
Brian Jones concludes Chapter 7 of Finding Favor as he discusses the difference between praying and asking for God’s favor. Hence, Pastor Jones thinks there’s one similarity and two differences between the concepts. On the similar side, both prayer and praying for favor can be single cause- effect events. For example, in 2 Kings 13:4-5, King Jehoahaz sought God’s favor as he prayed for deliverance from the king of Aram. In response, God raised up a deliverer.
Next, Brian presents two other instances of clear differences between praying and asking for God’s favor.
Favor often refers to seeking help without a specific answer in mind. More often than not, the author observes, we seek God’s favor when we don’t know exactly what we need. Thus, while Jacob wanted God to rescue him from Esau, in reality he needed much more than that. Jacob needed reconciliation and healing.
Favor often refers to a continual state of blessing. Therefore, we end up favored when we seek and find God’s favor. Pastor Jones explains: “We experience a continual state of receiving God’s blessings without needing to stop and think about what we need and ask for them. They keep coming, whether we pray or not.”
In conclusion, Brian asserts his confidence in one thing. No matter what you’re facing right now, when you’re blessed by God’s favor, He changes people’s minds. Perhaps you’ll walk right into someone’s Daniel 1:9 moment!
Today’s question: What calls your attention to the fact that God’s constantly bestowing His favor all around you? Please share.
