The Lord Will Bless Us

The Lord remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron. — Psalms 115:12
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. — Ephesians 1:3

Summary: Jehovah has remembered us at all times: he has provided for us, comforted us, delivered us, and guided us, overlooking not even our smallest concerns. At certain moments we have perceived his care more clearly, and we can recall them with gratitude. Because God is unchanging, his care in the past gives us reason to trust him for the future. Yet our certainty that he will bless us rests on more than this inference: it also comes as a promise from the Holy Spirit. The scope of that promise is immense; he will bless us in his divine way and forever. Therefore, let us bless Jehovah.

I can set my seal to the first sentence. Can you not do the same? Yes, Jehovah has remembered us, provided for us, comforted us, delivered us, and guided us. In all the workings of His providence, He has remembered us, never overlooking even our smallest concerns.

His mind has been full of us: that is another way of saying that He “remembered us.” This has been true all along, without interruption. Yet at particular moments we have seen His care more clearly, and we want to remember those moments with overflowing gratitude. Yes, yes, “the Lord remembered us.”

The next sentence is a logical inference from the preceding one. Since God is unchanging, He will continue to remember us in the future, just as He has in the past; and for Him to remember us is for Him to bless us. But here we have not only a conclusion of reason, but also a declaration of inspiration: we receive this on the authority of the Holy Spirit: “HE WILL BLESS US.” This means great and unfathomable things. The very breadth of the promise points to its infinite scope. He will bless us in His own divine way, and He will do so forever and ever. Therefore, each of us should say, “Bless Jehovah, O my soul!”
