Go ahead and turn with me in the scriptures.

Two verses that we had looked at last time I was with you in 2 Timothy, the first chapter, 2nd Timothy 1.

2nd Timothy 1 verse 12

He said for the which cause I suffer these things

And he's talking about persecution

Nevertheless I'm not ashamed

For I know whom I have believed and am persuaded

That he is able to keep

That which I have committed to him against that day.

We are on our, what about our fourth part of talking about the Lord our keeper, the Lord who keeps us. Anybody interested in this? Well, if you're planning on making it very

far, it'll be because the Lord kept you. And if you make it all the way to a long life

and what we're talking,

we're just praying about just now,

you find your God ordained purpose and place

and you arrive to the full place

and you fulfill it and you finish it.

It'll be because the Lord kept you.

Day in, day out.

But notice here that it's not all up to him,

which is the case with thing after thing after thing.

There's a God part and there's a man part.

We can't do his part and he won't do our part.
