The Lord Is Your Keeper

He “who made heaven and earth,” who neither slumbers nor sleeps, who shields us both day and night from all harm, is the LORD who will keep you “from this time forth and forevermore.” For Christ our Lord and keeper has redeemed us, saved us from our enemies of sin and death, given us life by his Holy Spirit, and guaranteed us eternal life in his kingdom. We do not look outward to the hills or inward to ourselves but to Christ alone, for he is our keeper, forevermore.

In Accord for God’s Glory

In a choir, a selfish voice creates dissonance. A submitted voice enjoys consonance. If you can hear one voice above the others, a choir sings not as one voice but a dissonant two. But when every individual submits to one another together, a choir produces the beauty of harmony in one voice. Likewise in Christ’s church, who is composed of many yet sings as one, we submit to one another resulting in harmony, living, singing forth, to the glory of One. May we as Christ’s church, as one voice, sing forth beautiful praise to the One who not only gives us life but also lives that we may glorify him forever.
