How to become a “Kept Woman”

Psalm 121(NASB)

A song of ascents.

I lift up my eyes to the hills where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.He will not let your foot slip he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.The Lord watches over you the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

This passage of scripture written as a song of ascents, is often attributed to King David and the issues he faced when going to war. Today, we will take a look at this passage to see it in a whole new light concerning how we as women of God can seek the Father for safety as we deal with the daily issues of life.

Because we are created ever so gently by the loving hands of our Father, women often experience and handle the difficulties in life quite differently then men. As carriers we often tend to pick up issues or struggles not necessarily in our best interest. When this happens, we often find ourselves burdened down more than we are supposed to be.

Despite what we may experience in life and even the issues we pick up and carry throughout our day, know that Father in His great mercy always gives us a way of escape.What are some of the ways you can escape the issues and cares of this life in a Godly manner? How can you unload what you have been falsely carrying? In the next few moments we will look at how you too can become a “kept woman.”

Psalm 121 has always been one of my favorite scriptures. Many years ago I began to read this Psalm almost daily because I had been working in a hostile work environment. During this time in this particular section, there was chaos everywhere so it was a true necessity for me to pray before, during and after work. Because the power of prayer was introduced and put into the atmosphere where I worked, despite the fact of it being a hostile environment; God honored His word and kept me. Although I knew God was going to keep me, there were still some things I had to do personally besides lifting my eyes up to the Him for help. 

Following are some keys on how to be kept by God even during times of chaos or hostility.

1.                  Keep an attitude and heart of prayer daily.

2.                  Keep yourself distanced from drama of any kind.

3.                  Speak what is needed to function as required by your job assignment.

4.                  Let your light shine on its own without telling people that you are the light.

5.                  Keep a journal of all issues both resolved and unresolved.(for easy reference if needed)

6.                  Continue to allow God to purify your love walk daily

7.                  Seek God for His strategy on how to operate in specific assignments.

8.                  Let God fight your battles; learn how to truly wait on His timing in all things. 

9.                  Adopt an excellent work ethic; work as unto the Lord not unto man.

10.              Learn how to truly laugh and live free of stress; but remember to keep all things in balance.

Prayerfully these tips have been of some help to you as you press towards the mark in Christ. Know that the word of God is tried and true about seeking after God and His righteousness. When we do our part and follow after His truth, good will follow and God will watch over and keep us through anything.

Prayer of Salvation

I repent of all of my sins and right now I do confess that Jesus is the Son of God and that He died for the remission of my sins. I believe that Jesus died and was buried and rose again, and is now seated at the right hand of God in Heaven. I receive Him now as Lord of my life and I now commit to serve him for the rest of my days.

It’s in Jesus’ name I do pray, Amen.
