“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” -Psalm 121:1-2
The all-sufficient, all-knowing, all-powerful, ever-present God is our keeper. He is our helper (and look at His resume in verse 2!). He preserves us and protects us.
Look to the keeper of the psalmist, the keeper of Israel, the keeper of your life!
from The Lord Our Keeper, J. Anthony Vance on Psalm 121
“As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me!” -Psalm 40:11
The faithfulness of the Father, the grace of the Son, and the power of the Spirit. All three are engaged for our preservation. — John Owen (via Mark Altrogge’s Twitter)
Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
and your right hand delivers me.
The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;
your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands.
-Psalm 138:7-8
