The Lord, My Keeper: Reflections on 2025

This sermon, centered on Psalm 121, presents a profound meditation on God as the constant, compassionate, and comprehensive Keeper of His people, emphasizing that every aspect of life—past, present, and future—is under His sovereign and personal care. Pastor Neeley unfolds five key truths: God is our Keeper (shamar), actively and personally involved in every detail of life; He is a constant Keeper, never sleeping or slumbering, ensuring uninterrupted divine vigilance; He is a compassionate Keeper, providing shade from life's daily trials and warmth in the night's darkness, especially through His presence at our right hand; He is a defending Keeper, shielding believers from all forms of evil, both spiritual and human, through His protective power; and He is a guiding Keeper, overseeing every movement—our going out and coming in—from this time forth and forevermore. Through vivid imagery, personal anecdotes, and theological depth, the sermon calls Christians to reflect on the past year with awe, recognizing God's hand in every moment, and to live in daily dependence on His unwavering, loving, and ever-present guardianship.
