Showers of Blessings\u00a0 Day 21
\nBlessing: \u00a0Health and Strength<\/u>
\nDo not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil.
\nIt will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones. Proverbs 3:7-8 NKJV<\/em><\/p>\n

Message:<\/u>
\nMany people choose to live their own way, ignoring the Lord\u2019s warnings and therefore end up suffering needlessly.\u00a0 I once knew someone who was wise in his own eyes, living life according to his own way and will, doing what was evil in the sight of the Lord, yet not wanting to turn from it nor receive counsel.\u00a0 He was not interested in hearing either the gospel nor how he could become a new person in Christ; therefore, sadly he went his own way and chose his own peril.
\n
\n<\/u>Proverbs 3:7-8 speaks of a blessing of health and strength and this blessing is for our physical bodies.
\nIf you fear the LORD, stay away from evil doings, and don\u2019t live according to your own wisdom or will, you will be blessed physically with good health and strength.
\nThis is a very wise way to live and a wonderful blessing to receive.<\/p>\n
