Text: Psalm 121:1 – 8        Memory verse: v 4

It is heartwarming to know that we have a God who keeps us 121:4, 5. This Psalm 121 asserts the absolute and ultimate safety of the child of God. The essence of God watching and keeping Israel and all believers indeed is found in 121:7, where God is praised as the one who protects his people from evil. As God is anxious about us, so is Satan to slay and destroy us. David is saying here that God keeps us as a rich man keeps his treasures, as a captain keeps a city with a garrison, as a royal guard keeps his monarch's head. It is worthy to mention that in 121:3, the Psalmist also mentioned God as one who keeps us individually. So he keeps us individually and collectively.

Beloved, are you afraid of the plans of the enemies? Are threats of attack or the attacks you are receiving weakening your faith? Do not fear the wild windy tempests along your Christian journey here on earth. Your ship will not wreck because He that keeps you is on the deck of your boat. He neither sleeps nor slumbers. That should give you the needed courage even in the face of attacks. Remember the expression in Psalm 23:4, 5 that even though we are surrounded by the enemies, we should not fear because God is with us. Do you believe this? As you start this month, be assured that God who keeps you will grant you a memorable stress free month in Jesus name.
