God is Keeping Me
Message by Pastor Steven T. Morrow • Scripture: 1 Peter 1:4–5
Life will test your stability—emotionally, spiritually, and practically. This message reminds us that our security is not built on what we can control, but on what God has promised and what God preserves. If you need reassurance, strength, and a faith anchor that holds when life is shaking, this word is for you.
Key Scripture
1 Peter 1:4 — To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
1 Peter 1:5 — Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Message Summary
Peter reminds believers that God has given us an inheritance that cannot be corrupted, stained, or diminished. And the same God who reserves the promise also reserves the people—keeping us by His power as we trust Him. This is not “positive thinking.” This is covenant security.
Key Takeaways
- God’s promise is protected. What God has for you is not fragile.
- Your faith is not held by your strength. You are kept by God’s power as you keep trusting Him.
- Salvation is both present and future. God is working now, and He will reveal the fullness later.
- Hope changes how you suffer. Trials don’t cancel your inheritance—they refine your focus.
