…The Lord is thy keeper…

[Beloved,] Sweet and precious indeed to all his people is this assurance! The Lord is thy keeper! …It is [our God as a covenant-God] which keeps [His people] in the faith; keeps them in the hour of temptation; keeps them from the power of the enemy,—from a thousand unseen, and as many visible evils,—from finally falling, and from eternal death!—and though he hath no where promised to keep his people from tribulation, or persecution, or the strife and slander of tongues,—from sickness, or sorrow or the like,—yet he hath promised, that “no weapon formed against them shall prosper,—no temptation shall take them, from which he will not make a way for them to escape. He will bruise Satan under their feet shortly.” (ISAIAH 54:17, 1 CORINTHIANS 10:13, ROMANS 16:20) Oh, the blessed privilege of those who have the Lord for their keeper! (PSALM 121:5)
