Keeper
A keeper is one who takes responsibility to protect or take care of
someone or something. I believe true ‘Keeping’ involves love.
Love desires and works towards the best for the one who is loved.
According to the ‘Urban Dictionary’, A Keeper is ‘Someone who
you'd likely spend the rest of your life with if you found him or her.’
If there were more keepers in the US, the divorce rate would be
MUCH lower!!!
Interestingly, the Bible records this about the first brothers.
Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, "I have acquired a man from the Lord." Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. Genesis 4:1-2

Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass,
when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel
his brother and killed him.
Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?"
He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"
Genesis 4:8-9
The Almighty GOD not only created us, and formed us, He also redeemed us when we were lost! We belong to the LORD, twice over! He is also our Keeper.
But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. Isaiah 43:1
The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade at your right hand. Psalm 121:5

A keeper Who is Able to Keeper to the End
Only the Almighty GOD has the ability to keep you and He will keep you until the end!
Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go,
and will bring you back to this land;

A baby-sitter takes responsibility for a short period.
She lays down all other work to sit by the baby and watch the
baby constantly. When her time slot is over, she leaves the
baby in the care of someone else. The LORD keeps us until
that Day - The Day that CHRIST is fully revealed in us.

a howling wilderness;

He keeps you ever so lovingly, as His own, not as a hireling.
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them,
and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are one." John 10:27-30

The LORD takes responsibility for His children.
He is their Keeper. When we commit our lives to Him,
we recognise Him as our Keeper. It usually takes time for us to grow spiritually
and get to know our Keeper. The more we know Him, the more we can trust Him. The more we trust Him,
the more we can surrender to Him and yield our lives into the hands of our Faithful Keeper!

Keep Your heart
We can therefore be rested! We can release
our possessions, positions, people and plans to the LORD
and be at peace knowing that He is well able to keep them all!
We can also release our rightful possessions to those
who would forcibly take them from us. We don’t need to stress and strive with people over possessions or even positions,
people and plans! If GOD is the Keeper of all we have, He is able to keep,
or restore to us what is rightfully ours! Can we see our Keeper in these
situations through our eyes of faith?

Keep GOD’S laws
What is our responsibility to keep?
"If you love Me, keep My commandments. John 14:15
If we desire to obey the commandments of GOD, we need to
diligently study His word.
The Bible is the mapbook for our lives!
Now by this we know that we know Him,
if we keep His commandments. He who says, "I know Him,"
and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word,
truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
