Psalms 121:5-6 (ESV Strong's)
The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
Subject: God Keeps Us - Eternal Security
Along with the above set of verses, note the following passages:
John 10:27 (ESV Strong's)
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Psalms 91:1-4 (ESV Strong's)
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
God "keeps" us!! Note the following:
(Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary) Shamar means “to keep” in the sense of “tending” and taking care of. So God put Adam “into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it” (Gen. 2:15—the first occurrence). In 2 Kings 22:14Harhas is called “keeper of the wardrobe” (the priest’s garments). Satan was directed “to keep,” or “to tend” (so as not to allow it to be destroyed) Job’s life: “Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life” (Job 2:6). In this same sense God is described as the keeper of Israel (Ps. 121:4).
We can rejoice in the fact that we have a keeper. We can scream from the mountains that that Keeper is God!!
