"He preserves the souls of His saints!" Psalm 97:10

Every creature needs the preserving care of its Creator, for no power short of omnipotence is sufficient to preserve us. 

Our weakness is so great, 
our corruptions are so strong, 
our foes are so crafty, and 
our dangers are so numerous—
that we are never safe—unless the Lord keeps us! 

The Lord has promised to preserve His saints.
They are . . .
separated from the world,
set apart for His glory, and
inhabited by the Holy Spirit. 

They feel that they need preservation, 
they exercise faith in God's promise, and 
plead earnestly for it at the throne of divine grace. 

And the Lord will preserve them . . .
from the evil designs of their foes,
from the natural tendency of inward sin,
from apostatizing from his own cause. 

He preserves them by the means which are naturally likely to injure them . . .
by painful afflictions,
by losses and crosses,
by trials and temptations,
by reproaches and persecutions,
by the conflict within, and by opposition without.

"He preserves the souls of His saints!"
