D - Deliverance. Death cannot stop my hope or my protection. I am delivered from sin, from judgment, and from the worst that death could bring. It is now just a doorway to a brighter future. It is just a valley to pass through to a higher mountain. Forever protected and secured, my shield is indeed with God.
