Keeper

I started my preparation for this post by typing the word “keeper” into Google to see what it returned.  My screen was quickly filled with links to the Keeper Password Manager.  Have you ever used this app?  I have not, but based on reviews it sounds pretty great.  Here is how users describe it:

• The world’s most trusted and downloaded password manager solution
• Protects your passwords and sensitive information
• Works on all popular platforms and browsers
• Offers unlimited password storage

I can see why, if they wanted their password manager to be the most relied on solution, developers named their software “Keeper”.  The Bible describes Jesus as our keeper.  Turns out the reviews above can also be used to describe God, the keeper of our lives.  Let’s take closer look at each one:

• He is trustworthy

Blessed be the Lord!  For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.  The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him (Psalm 28:6-7).

• He protects

I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.  My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.  I and the Father are one” (John 10:28-30).

• He is available to anyone

For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:13)”

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6).

• His capacity is unlimited

Someone who is completely trustworthy, will protect me from evil, is always available and has a unlimited capacity to watch over my life is definitely someone I want on my side.  Jesus, my keeper.
