GOD’S PROTECTION<\/p>\n

If we want God’s protection,
\nWe must stay within His Will,
\nHe does His part if we do ours,
\nWe won’t get a better deal.<\/p>\n

But if we become rebellious,
\nThen God may back off a bit,
\nHe may even let us suffer,
\nSo we learn our lesson from it.<\/p>\n

God’s blessings are conditional,
\nThey’re null if we don’t obey,
\nThus do your best to please Him,
\nAnd He’ll protect you everyday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
