The keeper


After Psalm 121
 

When you see the hills,

do not consider the creation

but the creator, the one

who sculpted and shaped

the hills. It is not the creation

that keeps you or protects you;

it is the creator who keeps you,

who protects you, who provides

for you, without ceasing,

without sleeping, without

resting, protecting you against

all evil, keeping your life,

keeping your walk, watching

over your going out, watching

over your going in, always

and forever.

  1. And I'm so grateful knowing that He is always with us. Beautiful!
    Glynn, could I request your prayers? We are down in St. Simon's, and Danny's pacemaker went nuts. He is now in the hospital here, and stabilized. It's looking like he will have to have his pacemaker replaced before we can go home. His sons are both here with me, and are being such a huge help to all of us. Your prayers for healing and recovery are so appreciated! Please give my love to Janet.
