🌾 When you please God, He protects you from your enemies and even makes them be at peace with you. Jesus told you not to fear men or what they can do to the body. Instead, you are to fear God, who has the power to kill both the body and the soul. Yes, God can destroy the soul of a man!
When you obey God by walking the holy Way He walks, you are doing the Will of God on this earth daily as it is being done in heaven. When you obey God, you become eligible for all the benefits that come from serving the Creator of heaven and earth. God protects you in famine and war, from violence, wild beasts and theft. He gives you long life and healthy children. The Lord will protect you from all evil and sickness if you are keeping His Ways. You do this by practicing righteousness and honesty in all your dealings with man, just as Abraham did. God will protect you if you learn and practice what pleases Him and bring up your children in the Ways of the Lord.
When a man’s ways are pleasing to the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
