Are you a #preparer?  Do you #store things when you think there might be a #shortage?  As I was growing up in Texas, we would #can all the fresh fruits and vegetables while fresh and in season.  I remember listening and counting the seals on the jars as each would pop. That meant they were sealed and bacteria was gone!  Today I have three pear trees that are heavily laden with a bumper crop this year.  They are delicious and I have shared with those who enjoy them by eating, making jams and butters.  My daughter decided to #preserve them by canning this year and they turned out “just right”   They will last for several years if not consumed by then.  You might ask, “What does that have to do with God?”  First, let me say,  God created everything so He is the Keeper !  The Bible tells us that THE LIVING GOD PRESERVES.  Just read Psalm 121:3-8  “Help comes from the LORD and He that keeps you does not sleep. …THE LIVING GOD SHALL PRESERVE YOU FROM ALL EVIL: HE SHALL PRESERVE YOUR SOUL.  HE SHALL PRESERVE YOUR GOING OUT AND COMING IN FROM THIS TIME FORWARD AND EVEN FOREVER MORE”  Now that is eternal everlasting preservation when we accept the cleansing via Jesus Christ”s sinless sacrificial atoning blood removing our sins, but  each of us must ask forgiveness and acknowledge HIM as our LORD AND SAVIOR for only  THE LIVING GOD PRESERVES ETERNALLY
