The LORD Keeps Me; Keeps Us ALL

Many times reflecting our achievements, accomplishments, and even our intellect, we tend to think WE are responsible for and thereby sustain the very core of our being. But according to Psalms 121:5, David zeroes in on a simple yet colossal principle that actually governs our day to day lives. He states that, "the LORD is my (our) keeper". It is the LORD who keeps 'us' ALIVE. As much as we'd like to believe, we cannot even 'keep' ourselves. It is God who keeps our minds operating, our bodies in good health, our children when they are separated from us, our homes in tact. It is God himself who keeps our entire nation from being overthrown or attacked from unseen enemies. Of a truth, it IS the LORD, who keeps us. He that keepeth us neither 'slumbers nor sleeps'. To be honest, I'm glad and thankful that it is the LORD who keeps us. For we, in all our human-ness, cannot 'keep' ourselves.
