July 24: God is Able to Guard What I Entrust


“For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.”
— 2 Timothy 1:12 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God personally guards what we entrust into His hands.
  2. Our trust is in a Person, not just a promise.
  3. Faith grows by remembering who holds our future.
  4. What we place in God’s care is eternally secure.
  5. Confidence in God’s keeping leads to courageous living.

Poem: Guarded by His Hands

The winds tear dreams from tired hands.
The thieves claw at broken walls.
But you hold the treasures I gave.
You shield the prayers I dared to speak.
You lock my hopes in holy vaults.

The crowds laugh at trembling faith.
The world scorns silent trust.
But your arms wrap tighter than fear.
Your voice guards louder than lies.
Your breath fills the gaps of doubt.

The long nights shout of loss and waste.
The aching miles stretch thin and raw.
But you gather the scattered pieces.
You number the sighs and tears.
You forge the gold from broken clay.

The thief cannot snatch your guarded ones.
The dark cannot pry open your gates.
You stand between loss and promise.
You cradle the gifts of fainting hearts.
You water the seeds hidden in dust.

Today I trust you with what I hold.
Today I surrender the battles I name.
You are the vault for broken dreams.
You are the guard of fragile hope.
You are the keeper of my song.
