Remember God is always watching over you...Today's Scripture:
He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
Psalm 121:3-4
Have you ever been awakened by a strange noise? You sit up in bed heart pumping and listen intently. You might turn on a light and go investigate if the noise continues. Perhaps you'll pick up a baseball bat or arm yourself with a makeshift weapon or go get your gun, just in case it's someone who's not supposed to be there. But then you share a laugh when the real culprit appears-the neighbor's cat, or the wind blowing leaves around the yard.
For the person living in ancient Israel, it was great comfort to know that God never sleeps. It is comfort today as well.
God stands guard over you. You needn't fear marauders, robbers, or assailants, for God remains watchful. You and your valuables are safe all night long. You can entrust yourself to him, knowing he would never slip away for a drink or doze on his shift.
Selah people' and friends in the day of alarm systems, watchdogs, and other devices for protection, you don't often fear what might happen while you're asleep. Despite the many terrors that surround those who love God, you can feel safe. As a man or woman, you can take comfort in God who won't be caught off guard. God will protect you all along life's path without letting you slide on the slippery rocks of the world's greatest dangers.
"My friend if you find the nighttime a frightening time, take heart in the grand truth that God is always there, watching, protecting, making sure you arrive in heaven safely."
