A God that Can Keep You- Psalm 121:1-8

And good morning, didn't welcome here to the Mount Olive. Baptist Church to a Bible teaching and preaching Ministry messages on the mountain. You liked it. Thank you for joining us again. As always, we pray that you have been keeping yourself safe from the covid virus that you doing all those precautions and things that are being requested of you. So sure this is saying that you're a freak rooting. When you're free coding and outside and whatnot that you wearing your mask, all of those things that the health department, CDC, your local government or asking you to do and as well. So we thank God that he's keeping us and continue to keep us doing this. Of time. Well, as you know that we are again yet again we have dealt with the whole situation with regard to our elections down and now we're moving on to addressing the issue. A virus and praying and trusting that God would is only as he can. I bring about a solution to all those things we're dealing with. Just as right now that you would take the time to buy one before word of prayer, West at now. Probably. Thank you. God, for your goodness, to us for your mercy. Father for how you have continue to keep us each and every day and we pray now, father, that you would allow your power, your Holy Spirit to speak to your people. Father regarding Lord, who you are and how much you care about them. The more important, your son, and now, all we ask this in Jesus name, amen.

Well. In times, like these times, that we're dealing with times and instability times of uncertainty times of a pandemic. If you will, we need to have security. And we need to know that no matter what we go through that. There's someone that's watching over us and we'll take care of us and not only take care of us, but we'll make sure that we are secure. Samus and Psalm 121 knew something about that. In fact, this song, One 21 is best known as one of the songs. One of the 15 songs that the children of people of Israel, what they would do it says they were on their way to worship. They would say the song. Some have said, they said them, as they went up the summer season as they were on their pilgrimage headed toward the temple songs that were used to get people in the mindset of worship. and so here we we have the song today we're looking at and Psalm 121, if you joined me there in the scripture, I want you to know some of the things that it says here, the text says here and Psalm 121, I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh. My help, my Help Cometh From The Lord which made Heaven and her. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved. He that keepeth thee will not Slumber the hold. He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. Good morning. The lord has laid on that right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the Moon by Night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil. He shall preserve thy Soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and I coming in from this time forth. Even forevermore out here. If you will Coach in Jerusalem. They had mountains over there. They were doing. As they were asking the question about God, keeping them as they were looking at these mountains at here is that the three things that the song attention The first is from whence cometh, my help and something I need to understand something with these Hills can be a lot of things. These skills can represent, if you will. The Majesty of God represent the challenges that we face in our own lives. The challenges that we face as Believers navigating through each and every day. What's this? Because we are looking to the hills. That doesn't mean that we're looking for help. The next thing he does is answer this by talking about this distinctiveness of the keeper by saying, my Help Cometh From The Lord, which is which is the maker of heaven and Earth about idle, talk about, they have eyes but they see not, they have hands. They have ears but they cannot hear they have arms, but they can't have any strength and somebody brings out. The first thing you need to understand about the distinctiveness of the keeper, is it is that he is, I'll go. Oh yeah, every now and then you can be listening to a preacher and he'll say something like this. Oh I feel my help coming. He's he's he's talking about the fact that the spirit is helping him as he begins the priest but that's what the song is. This talking about is it is that God himself is I'll help that you've been all kinds of questions about it. You can do it. You can ask about how we get the average response time in the District of Columbia. If you will, for a 911 calls is 4 minutes if you will. When the time dispatcher gets the call to the point in time, in which particular emergency or first responder gets his is 4 minutes, it's the same thing happens in Virginia, but but, but but but in Maryland You don't have to worry about any minute. You don't have to worry about anything because God begins to respond the moment. You begin to talk to him. Yes, that's right. Some of us we we we had issues with this idea of help because we want it right now. Rest. Now, we wanted yesterday, but the part and parcel of God helping us. Some time is the time span between something has happened. And when there's an answer, but he is too. I'll text you. When he says, if it from whence cometh, my help. He's asking rhetorical question, but my Help Cometh From The Lord. My help comes from the Lord that your job is your help. But then you look up, my new job is going and you don't have any help anymore, you might think that your friends, are you help you look up? And you don't have your friends on your family anymore and then you you you look around and you may think that Picking up the phone, I'm calling somebody that. Don't bring your help, but the reality is the only person that you can call that you can depend on it, is the Lord God Almighty. I see. Now, you look at what's happening in that room with what we call a covid-19 and coronavirus. And he even though you have 911, there's no 911 if you would say yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's right, thing about this particular help, help. This particular is that he has the capacity to take care of you issues, because he is the creator of Heaven. And her I don't know about you, but I haven't seen it.

I seen an agency that specializes in dealing with adding more Heaven. If you will, to be leaving the stratosphere all the atmosphere or any of the celestial body that I haven't seen in agency has been designed to create an to occupy and get in testing. It has still not been one has been created that watch this that creates more space. I'll help a sister. If you will be the one that is exactly what it is. That we need to know what the new want to be in that the distinctiveness of the Kiba is, his that he is, I help, and he is the creator of Heaven and Earth. List of the creator of Heaven and Earth him being a cheaper. That way you can look at this for a minute. This word means to do, it means to preserve, it means to protect. And so stinking us of our preserving. Our protector is, is that he is the Creator, God with him being in Creative. That means he has all of the attributes and that it takes to handle your situation and my situation. There's no medical issues that he can't solve. There's no trouble that he can bring peace to a greater than him. And so whatever problem you have, when you bring it to him, if he can solve your problem, but you got to bring your problems and you got to bring your troubles to have. Somebody said I bought my burdens to the Lord and I left them there. So you don't want you bringing them. He's also created heaven. And what does that mean? That he said he is nothing but the sustainer of both Heaven and her pulse is this way to watch it. It is by him to him through him. That all things considered that, all things came together because he's the creative have everything in between that God has created. We know that he is the distinctiveness of the cheaper, but also the next question to ask is, what is he known for in this time, there is a disposition. What is the resting attitude of the one who keeps you with me? What is towards you and me? I mean, he's doing stuff to take care of you with me. If you will, give me a bodyguard watch this. And the Convoy of the believer

He's the end and he's the beginning, he watches it all the way around because he stays a way that you and I can sleep. I remember that goes like this all night and all day angels watching over me my Lord, they comfort me about 12, then him being the guardian, is the thing that helps you and I to be able to have couple that wants. This verse 3 says, he will not suffer thy foot to be moved and he will he that keepeth thee will not Slumber. Behold he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber. Nor sleep number one Helper, and he's a creative having a nervous. Disposition of the keeper is that he's number one, he's our God. He watches over us day and night, and because of, that hear the text message know that we will not slip slide on phone. It says he will not need to be understood as a route to be moved. He says he's sleeping. He never never. Ever is exhausted in energy of God. All right, cuz is a non-contingent big. He doesn't need us, but we definitely need him and Sophia. He's our God. it is a story told of a little girl, one time she was evidently, they had gone on a trip on a ship and and that they got further further out in the ship, they call us quarrel which is like a big storm that came about where you scared people begin to rush up from the bottom of the hole and what not to see what was going on and why this ship was having all these problems out of the bottom of the hole is, well, How do you say two words that why did you come up to watch? Need to know one thing. So, what's that it, say, who is at the Helm of the ship? They said, they're your problem is at the Helm of the ship. So, they know. Is that after that she turn around and she went back down and she went to sleep. She's the reason why she was able to go to sleep, because I need to be able to sleep in because the father is at the hell, he is guarding us watch this. That he is guiding us trials and tribulations, the pandemic. Lord have mercy the pandemonium watch this that we have not yet found a Panacea. But the thing is happening is God is working this thing out. And somebody earlier today, that is a whole lot of hope that it had a lot of good home cooked meal, just spend with their children and a husband and wife relationship.

What is in the business of orchestrating a situation so that he's keeping you and me even worship leaders in the church even in the midst of difficult time.

He lured him with a pillar of Fire by day and a pillar of cloud to Cloud by day and a pillar of Fire by night and see if you will be so many people in difficult times, and right now, he's leading you and me. So we know that again that the distinctiveness of the keeper is number one that he is. First of all, he is if you are and he is as well, the one who continues to be the creator of heaven. And secondly, we know the disposition of the keeper and he got, we look at the description of the keeper. You just talked about his, if you will, you talk about his distinctive this and you talk about this position, is there anything else that you can say about a woman? I mean, this is the Bible that mean it's unfathomable. I mean every time you read it, As we preach it and it gives birth to new things about God any time you begin to read it and so there's some other things that the song with regard to who God is he said he begins to talk about 3 to 6 he talked about the present situation 1 and 1/2. He talked about the present situation but when he gets a chance to talk about the future with regard to believe in, if you will be at 6 in Falling, he goes to you and yours.

Verses 7 & 8 right there in the text.

Evil, he shall preserve thy soul that Israel until the end of versus watch this for five and six. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber. Nor the Lord is thy keeper here at least six times. The Lord is the shade upon thy right hand but the Moon by any danger that happens during the day. God will guide you and guide, you and Henry Danger, that happens during at night. God will guard and guide you, but I don't know who you and I are some point in time, this body your body is going to Shell. And what does a thing that's probably? What is your soul question? You need to be asking yourself right now is who is keeping your soul? That's why it hits. What is temporary and it shall be as silly as it says in 1st Corinthians, the question becomes always, who will keep your solo yet. Don't worry about anybody that can do stuff to it. Don't worry about it. I can do something to the body. Can't do anything to you. So you have to be concerned about something that somebody can do to yourself. And the only person that can do something about that, the Lord Jesus Christ, the lord Jesus is the one that fixes is so that your soul is saved, so he's a saver of your soul. That's right. He is the keeper of your so he's a savior. Do you say rabbit? What does it mean by sorry? But let's do it this way. It means that no matter how many people have voted, any particular way, that God was right there watching the whole thing here. Police erected to allow this to happen when he allowed it to happen and it allowed this to happen. The only one word is that in the amen? Because God has his stories ultimate Authority and power to be able to dictate what needs to happen. The way he wants it, how he wants it, where he wants when he wants it. All said that the Lord has sent his flow in the heaven and that is sovereignty, rules on walls and what God doesn't rule As One. Pastor said that he is the savior of us And he is now sorry to the Lord shall preserve thy going out and coming in from this time forth and forevermore not only right now you're going out and you're coming in. Your daddy said that he knows my fault. He sees me. He knocked down City and he said, where can I go? Can I make my bed in? Hell? Can I can I get to heaven, if you will a place that you can go? That God isn't already said? That means protection is then you hear the text message, no, things on the one that it is thick in this other people that he is a helper. Now, is he is a Helper but he is the creator of Heaven and Earth. We know the disposition of that he's out. God in his, I got to watch this. We know the description people that need to save your soul.

Specifically Jesus Christ in the questions that may not be as convinced that you but you give you might need to embrace that. You might not be doing that just yet, but why you say what, why why should we believe that? He's a keeper rabbit world? Will because he kept at home when he left the early casualties, if he kept Jose, and when Joseph went into a pit

Picture of David, when he fought the lion in the belly of a fish, me Shack in a Bendigo. And right now he's keeping you as a nation. He kept us from civil war, Civil Rights Monday, to the back to the bank and unemployment and didn't even want to even see them at all. And now he's keeping you and me right on through to somebody before you watch this house, he keeping you he's keeping you with me. Thank you. Jesus.

I said that he's a mighty good God and he's a mighty, good people next door, let me ask you the question. Is he your keeper? Is he the savior of your soul? And it Jesus. It's not the savior of your soul. This is your time.

Time to start is now. The method to use is God's in the person. To begin with.

And a simple. You say Lord Jesus. I am a sinner. Come into my heart and take over my life and make me the person you want me to be in the bible promises and guarantees that he has to call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. That says guarantee. So I asked you today, would you receive the Lord Jesus Christ? Your personality savior, you said that prayer with me. I've already done it. The Bible said these things that are writing to you that believe in the name of Son of God. So that you may know that you have eternal life. So, he said that you have eternal life today.

Let's pray. Father, we thank you. We thank you for being so good to us and that you keep us. but you is only, you can fix it so that we are eternally, secure. after we have asked your son into our lives,

Realize now, probably maybe something on the sound of my voice that I experiencing difficulty. Challenges. So father I ask you God to to look in on them. And father that you is only, you can would strengthen them. Father, that you would address their issues. Whether it's Financial reversals. Unemployment sickness. Father that you would touch them and meet them at the point of their need. Father, we ask this today in Jesus name.

Amen. Thank you so much for joining us today. Goes to messages of God that can keep you all. Pray that it resonates with your spirit throughout the week. To remember that. No matter what's happening in your life. The God is greater than that. And that God will not allow anything. You like these first not allowed to come through his head to you. You can trust it. So next week God bless you richly. Bible of it by by
