The Lord’s keeping

“The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.” (Ps. 121:8)

The Lord will keep you.  What does that mean?  He will watch over you – to protect you, to guide you.  Today.  Forever.  He will not cast you aside.

What a wonderful verse when we part company.  The Lord will keep your going out (away from us) and your coming in (back to us). 

The Lord’s keeping – is it something we can see or hear or touch?  No, of course not.  Even if we could, it would not last.  “For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”

May the Lord bless and keep you – forevermore!
