Keeper of My Soul
Praise to the KEEPER OF MY SOUL
“‘It is You who has kept my soul from the pit of nothingness, For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.’”
There are some descriptions of God that “wow” us. This is one of them. “Nothingness.” I don’t know anyone who wants “nothingness” to describe them or their lives. Deep within, we yearn to be significant. But without God, we find ourselves in a pit of nothingness carrying the burden of our sins on our back. Then, one day, we look UP. We respond to Jesus’s outstretched hand. He takes our sins on His back and was scourged for our transgressions. We recognize that in His death, we were made clean. “Nothingness” no longer describes us. We are children of the King and destined for His throne room.
Lord, KEEPER OF MY SOUL, I praise You for casting all my sins behind You and for keeping me from the pit of nothingness.
KEEPER of MY SOUL
“‘It is You who has kept my soul from the pit of nothingness, For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.’”
Isaiah 38:17
There are some descriptions of God that “wow” us. This is one of them. “Nothingness.” I don’t know anyone who wants “nothingness” to describe them or their lives. Within us is a yearning to be significant. But without God, we circle in a pit of nothingness carrying the burden of our sins on our back. Then, one day, we look UP. We respond to the outstretched hand of Jesus. He takes our sins on His back, where He was scourged for our transgressions. We recognize that in His death, we were made clean. “Nothingness” no longer describes us. We are children of the King and destined for His throne room!
Lord, KEEPER OF MY SOUL, I praise You for casting all my sins behind Your back and for keeping me from the pit of nothingness!

KEEPER
“The Lord is your keeper…
The Lord will protect you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.”
Psalm 121:5,7
Keep: guard, preserve, protect. To whom can you entrust your soul? Day in, day out, and ultimately, who do you want preserving and protecting you from evil and from “the pit of nothingness” (Isaiah 38:17)? “God” is the answer most give. Yet, do we actually walk in the confident awareness that we’re not walking alone; that God is our keeper? God guards, preserves, and protect us in ways we can’t see. We may have had a horrible day and felt we were in a “pit.” Yet, we have no idea what evil never touched us or our loved ones because God was guarding us. We have no concept of the eternal pit from which God keeps us. Today is a good day to look heavenward in praise of the Keeper our our soul.
Lord, I praise You for being the KEEPER of my soul, for protecting me from all evil, and for keeping my soul from the pit of nothingness.
