To tell someone “God Bless” means you are wishing them divine favor, protection, and well-being, asking God to bring them happiness, peace, and success. It is even used casually as a polite parting, a response to a sneeze, or a general sign of goodwill. God Bless is a form of a blessing and is a sincere prayer to a common social courtesy. Numbers 6:24-26 reads, “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you, the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.” (ESV) This is where the phase originated, it is a blessing. Do you ever use the term “God Bless”? I wonder if people would become more aware of God if we all used this term regularly—daily! For it is a way to invoke divine goodwill, protection, and good fortune for someone in various situations. It is something to think about. God Bless. Amen.
