Update April 26th 2018
Today is the 5th day of the 3rd week of seven weeks. Today is the 19th day of the counting of fifty days from the day of the waving of the Omer on the morrow after the Sabbath.
It is Jewish tradition to read and/or recite Psalm 67 everyday of the counting. The Psalm begins with the priestly benediction from Numbers 6:24-27. I noted a similarity between it and the Lord’s Prayer. Another prayer similar to Psalm 67 and the Lord’s Prayer is the Prayer of Jabez ~
And Jabez called to the God of Israel, saying, If indeed You would bless me, and make my border larger, and Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil so that it may not grieve me! And God gave him what he asked. 1Chronicles 4:10

On our day seventeen post we noticed a similarity in Psalm 67 with the “Lord’s Prayer”? We don’t really know what traditions Jesus was raised with, we are given only a few glimpses, Luke 2:39; Luke 4:16, to name a couple. Mary and Joseph were chosen by God to raise the Son of God, so I’m thinking they were obedient. I think it is fair to say that since He came to fulfill the law, I’m sure He knew the Scriptures inside and out. He always says, “it is written”. He always quoted the law, prophets and the psalms..
Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
‘Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. ‘Give us this day our daily bread.
‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Matthew 6:9-13
God be gracious to us and bless us, And cause His face to shine upon us– Selah.
That Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations.
Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You.
Let the nations be glad and sing for joy; For You will judge the peoples with uprightness And guide the nations on the earth. Selah.
Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You.
The earth has yielded its produce; God, our God, blesses us.
God blesses us, That all the ends of the earth may fear Him. Psalm 67
Have you ever wondered what “Hallowed” means?
Easton Definition: Hallow
To render sacred, to consecrate Exodus 28:38; Exodus 29:1. This word is from the Saxon, and properly means “to make holy.” The name of God is “hallowed”, i.e., is reverenced as holy Matthew 6:9.
What similarities do you see?
