God is Our Keeper

With so much going on in the world today, it's nice to remind ourselves that God is still on the throne and He is looking after us. He is our keeper. Many of us wear different hats and have several things we are responsible for overseeing. If we are not organized or if we do not plan well, it can cause us to forget something. I am so thankful that we do not have to worry about that with God. He is always alert and never forgets us. He knows every intricate detail of our lives and holds the stars in the sky all at the same time. He is just amazing. I want to encourage you today to rest in the truth that He is your keeper.

1) Give God your worry

1 Peter 5:7 (NIV) - "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

You were never designed to carry worry or stress. When situations come up that put stress on you, immediately give it to the Lord. 

2) God is the best at making things work out.

Romans 8:28 (TPT) - "So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose."

God never wastes anything. Whether it is a victory or a setback, God can use it to work out something in your favor. His creativity is mind-blowing. :)

3) Trust in His Timing

2 Peter 3:9 (CEV) - "The Lord isn’t slow about keeping his promises, as some people think he is. In fact, God is patient, because he wants everyone to turn from sin and no one to be lost."

God is always on time. When we think He's taking too long, it's an opportunity for us to develop or patience and build our trust muscle. 

4) Remember that God is a good shepherd

Psalms 23:1 (NLT) - "The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need."

Allow God to lead you in every area of your life. His instruction keeps us safe and guides us on the path of blessing.

** I pray you were encouraged today to rest in God and in His ability to take care of you.
