We are kept

We are kept by the power of God. 1 Peter 1:5

"God us for us, not on special, grand occasions, but daily, hourly. If God is for us, then to-day's disappointment does not put us out of humor; today's sickness does not provoke us to-morrow; to-day's insult does not awaken thoughts of resentment." Rev George Bowen.

The little figurine is from my mother-in-laws back yard beside their pool. When I am deciding upon which photograph to illustrate the daily Mizpah, I usually have a vague idea what I am looking for. More times than often, after scrolling through many photographs, the one I am looking for jumps out at me.
Other times, I know I need to go out and take the photograph that would best illustrate the verse or quote. Today's quote, though written over a hundred years ago, was appropriate, as often, through the Holy Spirit, the old verse and quote fit right in for today.
This was the day for instance that Harold Camping, after getting the rapture date incorrect several months ago, said that Oct.21st would be the end of the world. Now, we have a few hours remaining in the day, but for all intents, we can safely assume tomorrow the world will go on as it has.
