Today's Good News

July 1: The Lord is My Keeper

Scripture:
“The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.”
— Psalm 121:7–8 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. The Lord shields us from evil we cannot see.
  2. His preservation secures both our journeys and our rest.
  3. God watches our coming and going with tender strength.
  4. His keeping is not temporary but eternal.
  5. We are safest when we walk under His care.

             Kept by His Hand

The sun falls on my back.
The road winds through barren hills.
But your hand builds a shelter of peace.
You keep my heart from breaking apart.
You hold me steady when chaos strikes.

The night is filled with broken dreams.
The stars do not reveal forgotten fears.
Still you guard my restless mind.
You mark the door with your faithfulness.
You whisper songs over my sleep.

The river floods the rocky bend.
The current is high and harsh.
But you keep my steps from slipping.
You bend the river with unseen hands.
You carve a dry way for my feet.

The fields stretch with endless turns.
I cannot trace tomorrow’s miles.
Yet you walk before my tired eyes.
You seal my going out with grace.
You make my coming in with joy.

Today I breathe inside your shield.
Today I rise beneath your care.
You are the guard of every breath.
You are the keeper of my soul.
You are the promise that will not fail.
