Who is your Keeper?
I came acrossed this passage, this weekend and it really put things back in perspective. I do not have to worry and struggle to keep things in order and on task. If I follow God and do what he leads me to do then I am in good hands, He is My Keeper, My all in all, and if that is not in style, oh well! Never have been and do not really want to be, I want to be what He planned for me to be, just wish He would let someone in on the secret or speed up the reveal. I am not getting any younger, and hope to not have to wait like Elizabeth did, and be 96 when I am finally seeing the fullfillment of the promise.
I love music, it helps, is soothes, it energizes it speaks messages. A few songs come to mind with messages about Keeping and security. The country song lyric "Looking for love in all the wrong places" or Elton John's lyrics in the "Candle in the Wind", 'You are like a candle in the wind, never knowing who to cling to when the wind sets in" really sum up the worlds answer, it is all in our control and having to have something we can touch to feel secure. WRONG! Faith is not by sight {or touch}, it is by believing! in HIM. He knows us and our fleshy need for confirmation and He gives us signs, and blessings in tangible form to help, He provides us friends and family to encourage and support us during our doubting moments and during trials to point us back to Him. His Hands Keep us. Another good song, is "Daddy's hands". Daddy is on the RIGHT!!!!
Well this tells us who the one to look to, the one to cling to, the one that can KEEP us in any circumstance, in any trial, He is always with us, He is our Right hand! (cool.. :)
Psalm 121
"God is Our Keeper"
A song of Ascents
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From whence shall my help come?
My help comes from the Lord
Who made heaven and earth
He will not allow your foot to slip
He who keeps you will not slumber
Will neither slumber nor sleep
The Lord is your keeper
The Lord is your shade on your right
hand.
The sun will not smite you by day,
Nor the moon by night
The Lord will protect you from all
evil;
He will keep your soul
The Lord will guard you going out
and your coming in
From this time forth and forever.
