Showers of Blessings\u00a0 Day 24
\nBlessing: Preservation of Life<\/u>
\nFear of the\u00a0Lord\u00a0leads to life, bringing security and protection from harm.\u00a0 Proverbs 19:23 NLT<\/em><\/p>\n

Message:<\/span>
\nMy home here on earth is my happy place.\u00a0 It\u2019s where I feel secure and comfortable.\u00a0 It is my haven of rest, a place that the Holy Spirit resides.\u00a0 As long as I abide in Christ and follow His ways I will be safe and protected from harm.<\/p>\n

We who fear the LORD are blessed with life here on earth that is satisfying. We can be secure knowing that the Lord is always watching over us for He is with us always. We are protected from evil and kept from harm daily by the LORD as long as we walk on His path and respect and obey His word.<\/p>\n

Someday our life will be eternal, everlasting, in heaven with the LORD whom we love, honor, respect and follow daily.\u00a0 What a blessing now and forever that is!<\/p>\n
