Today let’s look at a verse from Revelation and meditate on it awhile. The verse is: “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will also keep thee from the hour of temptation which shall come upon all the world to try them that dwell upon the earth.” Rev. 3:10
The simple message here is that God keeps those who keep His word. God keeps those who keep.
Let’s look more closely at what the keepers are keeping. The good keepers of this passage are keeping ‘’the word of my patience”. What is keeping the word of God’s patience? I believe this refers to doing what God wants us to do, with His help, under all circumstances. When it’s easy to do God’s will, we do God’s will with His help. When it’s hard to do God’s will, we do God’s will with His help. We are overcomers with God’s help. First Corinthians 10:13 reminds us that God will always provide a way that we can come through temptation with God’s help without sinning. Here we are promised that we will be kept true to God with God’s help. He will not allow us to be tempted to the point where we have to sin. He will let us be tempted to the point that we can’t get through the temptation without His help. He promises to be there for us in every temptation he allows us to be faced with.
Let’s be kept keepers!
