Safety & Blessings for the Godly

KJV The LORD God is a sun and shield. A shield protects.   He will give grace and glory; if you walk Godly there are spiritual and natural blessings to receive.   Psalm 84:11 

Tuesday - All Peoples are Blessed Through Abraham - Genesis 22:15-18 -1/31/17

Abraham received abundant blessings because he obeyed God. First, God gave Abraham's descendants the ability to conquer their enemies. Second, God promised Abraham children & grandchildren who in turn the whole earth would be blessed. People's lives would be changed as a result of knowing Abraham & his descendants. Most often we think of blessings as gifts to be enjoyed. But when God blesses us, his blessings are intended to overflow to others.
