The LORD is your keeper;

The LORD is your shade at your right hand. (Psalm 121:5)

The Lord has kindly been speaking to me about being my “keeper.” In Psalm 121 He is my keeper and the shade at my right hand. He keeps me during the onslaught of any storm hiding me within His bosom.

The storm may rage…but I am still a kept woman.

It is a beautiful thing to have Jesus as a keeper. He keeps me on the straight path, keeps me in holiness, keeps me from sin, and keeps me in grace.

He keeps me when I’m in sorrow, keeps me in laughter, and keeps me when I’m confused.

He keeps me in faith, keeps me in wonder, and keeps me in bloom.

When all seems lost, I still have a keeper. Never left. Never forsaken.

He is a keeper that never sleeps so I can rest assured that while I rest, He does not. I am perfectly able to hand over all worries to Him into which they are kept.

He has kept me from astounding mistakes, kept me while in mistakes, and kept me by bringing me out of mistakes.

His “keeping” never wanes.

He is the keeper of my heart. The keeper of my dreams. The keeper of my delights. He is the keeper of my past, the keeper of my present, and the keeper of my future.

It is nice to have a “keeper.”
