You Are Kept

We all want to be kept in some way, whether it be in memory, in someone’s life or as a part of something. No one likes being forgotten, left behind or not included. We all want to be a part of things…a family…activities… Yet, being human we all struggle with fulfilling these things in other people’s lives and vice versa. We forget or time passes by quickly, and before we know it the opportunity to include someone has passed.

While the world and the people in the world may be too busy or forget us along the way, we must remember that we are kept by the One whose love goes deeper and is stronger than we can imagine.

You are kept…safe…secure…valued…loved…

We are kept by God the Father and He will never forget nor forsake us.

What Does it Mean to be Kept By God?

It means we are never left alone in our lives, God is always watching over us. Just as the sparrow is cared for throughout it’s life, God cares for us. Being kept means God holds us in His thoughts and loves us so much that He allows us to go our own way, but always stays close by for when we call out His name.

 

1 Peter 1:5 tells us, “Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

Matthew 10:31 says, “Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.”

Psalm 121:7 states, “The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.”

1 John 3:1 says, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.”

 We are Kept Throughout Our Entire Lives

Truly there is no greater feeling than knowing you are kept by the Lord. The very God that created the universe and all things in it, keeps us by His hand, in His heart and mind. He cares about us and desires good things for us. Oh, that our lives would be evidence of us knowing and believing these powerful and amazing truths.

No matter what path God make guide us down or what struggles we may face along the way, we must remember that God keeps us through it all. There is nothing to hard or any place He can not go. We are always kept by God…time…place…situation…these do not matter. We are kept by the Father’s hand each and every day.

May we be found faithful in all that we do, say and think each and every day. So, that God would be waiting for us at the end of our race having kept us throughout our lives and be waiting to say the words every Christian longs to hear…”Well done thou good and faithful servant.”
