Topic: The Keeper
Text: Psalms 12:1-8

Worry is a killer. Why worry about what you cannot keep? God is the Keeper. Worrying amounts to usurping God’s authority and position. The man who worries is carrying out an assignment God has not given him. Are your worries based on your fear that God lacks the ability to keep what you have committed to His hands? Are you trying to play God by worrying about the future? The future is in God’s hands.

Therefore, we want to examine from the Scriptures the fact that when you worry, you only waste your time. Psalm 127:1-2 says, “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchmen waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep”. If God decides not to keep a city, all the night guards in the city will be busy wasting their time. If he decides not to take care of you, you can worry for as long as you like, you will still get into trouble.

However, if you could surrender your life to Him, and obey Him by not worrying, you will be able to enjoy your sleep at night. Only God can take care of you. A hundred night guards cannot take care of you if witches are busy sucking your blood while you are sleeping. However, when Jesus covers you with his blood, witches and wizards and robbers will be kept at bay. He that is keeping me will never sleep nor slumber.

I believe God is able to take care of me. It does not matter how much you worry, if God does not take care of you, there is nothing you can do. Some people think they can secure their future. They believe their future is secure by making as much money as possible. They always worry about how to make more money. I believe that there is only one tomorrow that can be secure and it is the one that is secured in Jesus Christ.
