The Lord says "Do not be afraid, for I will be with you; I will bless you." We are not to be afraid in life for our God is with us always. Even death will not separate us from God. He is with us always and will bless us and increase our number. Our children will be blessed if they too follow God's Word. God has made a covenant with us through His Word. As we live our lives and follow the covenant of our God, we and our children, and our children's children will be blessed.
