I first heard this song in high school and have loved it since. It's really great to know that God is Able to keep that which we have committed to Him against that day, whatever it is it's in safe hands!
Redding, California, United States
This hymn has been precious to me since childhood and I sang it to my children in the rocking chair. Now they are grown and their children sing it, too. Thank You, Lord! What comfort and assurance is ours through God's mighty plan in these promises!
Sinacaban-Evansville
2 Timothy 1:12
For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that He is able to guard my deposit unto that day.
footnote 1 : cause
The apostle suffered for a cause, a cause on the highest plane — the proclaiming of the glad tidings of the gospel of grace and life to establish the churches, and the directing of the saints. Such a cause must have been an encouragement and strengthening to Timothy as he faced the deterioration of the declining churches.
footnote 2: not
So Timothy should not have been ashamed either
footnote 3: whom
The apostle believed not a thing or a matter but a living person, Christ, the Son of the living God, who is the embodiment of divine grace and eternal life. The eternal life in Him is powerful; it is more than able to sustain to the end the one who suffers for His sake, and to preserve him for the inheritance of the coming glory. The grace in Him was more than sufficient to provide His sent one with all he needed for finishing the course of his ministry unto a reward in glory (4:7-8). Hence, He was able to guard that which the apostle had committed unto Him for the day of His return. Such an assurance must also have been an encouragement and strengthening to the enfeebled and sorrowful Timothy.
footnote 4: my
Or, that which I have committed unto Him. The apostle committed his entire being with his glorious future unto the One who was able, through His life and grace, to guard his deposit for the day of His second appearing.
footnote 5: that day
The day of Christ's second appearing.
Manila, Philippines
"I know Whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is ABLE to keep that which I've committed unto Him against that day."
Hull UK, England, United Kingdom
I was about 9 or 10 years old when I first heard this music sang by a sister in my church and I immediately fell in love with the hymn and now at 33, I am still moved by the lyrics and the melody of this song. It simply reminds me that God is always in control of my life and come what may - esp in this stress filled financial times of uncertainty, there is someone looking out for me!
Cheers
