I am a "Kept" Woman?


You see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind,
But GOD kept me sane. (Isa. 26:3)

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."


There were times when I thought I could go no longer,
But the LORD kept me moving. (Gen 28:15)

"And behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thous goest, and will bring thee agian into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of."


At times, I've wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me wrong,
But the LORD kept my mouth shut.. (Psa. 13)

"How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me."


Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough,
But GOD has helped me to keep the lights on, the water on, the car paid, the house paid, etc.., (Matt. 6:25 -34)

"Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not life more than meat, and the body  than raiment?

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Which of you be taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself."


When I thought I would fall, HE kept me up. (Psalm 91: 11, 12)

"For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."

 
When I thought I was weak, HE kept me strong! (I Pet. 5:7, Matt. 11:28, Eph. 6:10)

"Casting all your care upon him, for he careth for you."

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

"Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might"

 
I could go on and on and on, but I'm sure you hear me!

 
I'm blessed to be "Kept"

 
Do you know a "kept" woman?
If so, pass this on to her to let her know she is "kept"

 
I'm "Kept" by the love and grace of God!
