The noun “keep” has long been used as a military term for a garrison of soldiers tasked with surrounding and protecting a city. Scripture also uses this word to describe God’s active role as our keeper and protector. Like the inhabitants of a well-secured town, every believer lives within the realm of the keeping power of God.

Yet when temptation, stress, or doubts attack us, we often fight alone, relying on inadequate strength and insufficient resources for our defense. In this message, Dr. Stanley teaches us from Scripture about the limitations of human effort. Not one of us is capable of living the Christian life and overcoming the flesh, apart from God’s caring and careful protection.

God intends that you live in constant awareness of His abiding presence in your life. Learn how to reach out for and rely upon His unlimited strength for your stability. The omnipotent power of God to keep you works day and night, whether He is protecting you from something or for something. You will find true security in only Him.
