Tucked away in the book of Numbers, amid instructions on wave offerings and haircutting, set in the ring of God\'s call to his people to be set apart for him, we find a sparkling diamond: God\'s gift of shining blessing, given to a weary people wandering in the wilderness. God blesses those who don\'t deserve it, through those who don\'t deserve it; again and again he chooses to bless. He is preparing his people for life in the Promised Land. And he is blessing them - us - to be a blessing to all people.
