    The Aaronic blessing is part and parcel of our Sunday liturgy. What does God do when he blesses us with those words? What do we receive from him in the Benediction?

    God is not scrambling about trying to work out His plan or make last minute corrections. When we fumble the ball or tragedy occurs, God’s plan has not slipped a gear. The tragedy is a part of God’s plan for our faith to grow and for His glory.
