June 28 : He Will Keep You in Safety

He Will Keep You in Safety

Psalm 121:7–8 (KJV)

"The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore."

Sharon Campbell-Danvers 

There have been many times when I have put something away so securely that I could not remember where I placed it. Hours have been spent searching through drawers, cupboards, bags, and shelves, retracing my steps over and over again. Sometimes, after exhausting every possibility, I simply stop and pray, "Lord, please touch my mind and help me remember where I put it."

More often than not, in the quietness of the night or during a moment of stillness, the Lord gently nudges my memory. A forgotten detail comes back, a particular movement resurfaces in my mind, and I am able to retrace my steps and find what was lost.

As I reflect on Psalm 121:7–8, I am reminded that if I cannot always trust myself to remember where I place my possessions, how much more do I need God to watch over my life. There are things we forget, details we overlook, and paths we cannot fully see. We may misplace keys, documents, opportunities, or even lose our sense of direction in difficult seasons. Yet God never loses sight of us.

No other person could fully carry the responsibility of preserving our lives because every human being is limited. People forget. People become distracted. People make mistakes. But God never forgets. He never loses track of where we are, what we need, or what concerns us. His watchful care is constant and complete.

The psalmist assures us that the Lord will preserve our going out and our coming in. He watches over every step, every journey, every decision, and every season of life. While we may struggle to remember where we placed an item yesterday, God holds every detail of our lives securely in His hands. Nothing is misplaced with Him. Nothing is overlooked. Nothing is beyond His loving care.

What a comfort it is to know that the One who keeps us is never forgetful, never weary, and never distracted. The God who helps us find what is lost is the same God who faithfully preserves our souls and guides us safely through life.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You that when my memory fails and my understanding is limited, Your wisdom and care never fail. Thank You for watching over every detail of my life and for preserving my soul. Help me to trust Your faithful keeping, knowing that nothing concerning me is ever forgotten by You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

March 16 Anxious but Anchored

Carol Nyack Shepherdess Cayman Islands Conference of SDA Theme: Trusting God when anxiety creeps in . It was a cool February evening, and I was reaching the end of my rope in more ways than one. I was partially laid up with a broken ankle, having just shattered my beautiful flowerpot. At the same time, vacuuming, and then, minutes later, discovered that my unlocked car had been ransacked during the night. I glanced at my husband resting on the sofa. He remained unbothered by my recounting of events. I then contacted our older son. While on the phone, my husband calmly said, "Ask him to come take me to the hospital." There was no complaint of pain, no urgency in his voice—just a quiet request. At this point, I knew prayer was more important than questioning.  Our son arrived, and just as my husband turned to kiss me and leave, I grabbed him to pray. On the way to the hospital, things took a drastic do...

Help! I Am A Worrier. Author : Sharon Campbell-Danvers, Shepherdess, Educator Theme : Contentment in Christ. Finding peace and joy in God regardless of circumstances Peace of mind is a valuable commodity that cannot have a price tag placed on it. If worrying was a product, I would be rich.  Peace of mind is precious and closely aligned with our mental health and well-being. Truth be told, so many things seek to distract us from what is truly important and what gives us true peace. This is a struggle for me. I need a piece of peace! A big slice. Whopper version, supersized. Women are confronted with many issues that impact their peace of mind. The woman with the issue of blood was in a deep place for twelve years (Mark 5:25-34). Mary and Martha watched their brother die and wept (John 11:1-44). The woman at the well was searching for deeper meaning in her life without even knowing it until she came in contact with Jesus (John 4:1-26). Hannah was troubled at home and could find no ...

November 26: Waiting Well

Trusting God in Times of Waiting Key Text : Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) Pastor Carlon Nyack Executive Secretary, CI Conference  “But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles…” The Challenge of Waiting Let’s be honest—most people don’t like to wait. In our fast-paced world, if a YouTube video or website doesn’t load instantly, frustration sets in. We hit refresh, scroll past, or move on. Patience is in short supply. Yet, some have learned the art of waiting well. They use time wisely—reading a book, listening to music or a podcast, or engaging in something enriching while stuck in traffic or standing in line. Instead of giving in to impatience, they grow. Biblical Examples of Waiting Scripture is filled with stories of people who waited—Abraham, Joseph, the Israelites. They endured long seasons before God’s promises were fulfilled. But through the waiting, they learned to trust Him. We too must learn to wait well. Waiting isn’t passiv...
