Synonyms for the word, Preserve, are such as these: keep, save, maintain, retain. Upon this knowledge I took another moment to also look up the word, Retain. Retain means to keep possession of; to continue to have something. Two of the synonyms for this word are as follows: hold, detain
I don’t understand His way(s) always, but I always try to trust Him. He knows best. The God of the good times is still God in the bad times. He is always and forever GOD! And, His WORD is a lamp unto my feet and is also a comforter and a strength.
Just when I think I’m about to go crazy, feeling extremely helpless, or so very low in spirit…and even angry and disillusioned about life, people, and circumstance…He makes sure to hold me fast. His visitation comes and detains (and, often times, keeps) me from making a wrong decision. He continues to hold me in HIS possession. He is unwilling to give up on me and He cares to the the very minute detail of everything that concerns my life. I love Him so much!
It is by His providential love that I am never alone. His providential watchfulness over me is a treausure that I hold so dear to my heart. Therefore, I will say of the Lord, He is my strong tower. In times of storm and tribulation He is my help and my salvation. I will hope in Him. It’s His providence that brings me a renewed zest for life so that my spirit can soar as an eagle.
What could I ever do to deserve this kind of love?!! Who am I that this King did bleed and die for? Who am I that He would pray in the Garden of Gethsemene, “Not my will, but Thine”? I'm so grateful His HOLY Spirit came and breathed new energy into my little life.
How is it that anyone can ever live life without Him? To know, through faith, that I have an advocate at any time with the FATHER is a wonderous gift. God has granted me life and showed me many times over His loving-kindness. I am so humbly appreciative of His wondrous works that He does in my life. I know it is nothing that I deserve.
Happy Monday to you! Blessings always.
