I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. Psalm 121:1-8

The Lord never sleeps. Have you ever thought about that? He doesn’t need to because He’s God.

Each of us requires from 4-8 hours of sleep each night to recharge our bodies. Up to one third of our existence is in bed.

So, in the darkness of the night, when traffic and noise around us is at a minimum, God is keeping watch. Of course, the rest of the world is awake and He’s considering the events and affairs of 7 billion people, so how could He sleep or why would He?

Recently, my wife made an astute observation that I’ve had to think about: God is the ultimate multi-tasker. Seven billion people, and easily 50 times the number of problems, wars, tyrants, dictators, corruption, and an infinite number of situations to consider.

And yet He has time for you and me.

As you lay asleep at night and wonder about your life and family, praise Him for He is good. When you rise the next morning, do the same. It’ll make the day go much smoother.
