Okay, I don’t
know what’s going to come out of the weird space that is my head right now, but
we’ll see where it goes. I fell asleep
around 7:30 pm and woke up about 45
min. ago only to keep falling asleep at the computer. Good thing God doesn’t fall asleep like
that!
I guess He
wouldn’t be God if He did since He knows everything and sees everything both of
which you can’t do if you are sleeping.
When the movie ‘Finding Nemo’ came out, I went to see it in the
theaters. It was probably about twenty
minutes in that I fell asleep. It
happened again the next two times I tried to watch the movie at home. The kids would talk about different funny
scenes, this group of turtles, and repeat some of the movie lines all of which
I missed in my slumber.
…I
will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where shall my help come from? My help comes from Jehovah, who made Heaven and earth. 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.
Jehovah is
your keeper; Jehovah is your shade on
your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
Jehovah shall keep you from all evil; He shall keep your soul. Jehovah shall
keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even
forevermore. Ps. 121:1-8

Our help
comes from the One who watches over us (our personal watchman) day and
night. He doesn’t need sleep, so He can
(keep) ‘stand guard’ over us. He will not
fall asleep on the job, let down His guard or leave us vulnerable to the enemy,
but will continue to guard over us throughout the ‘dark times’ of the night. He won’t drift off and miss important things
when He’s tired because He doesn’t slumber.
He shades us in the daytime during our
‘siestas’ so that the sun can not strike us / harm us. In fact, His guarding over us doesn’t stop during
the daylight hours, but continues all day long.
He is our keeper: He guards our soul from the enemy. That doesn’t mean we can’t go through tough
times for tough times are promised by the Lord (Jh. 16:33), but that the enemy will never have victory over
us. He can’t. Victory is the Lord’s (1Cr. 15:57).
…In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of
good cheer.
I have overcome the world.
Jh. 16:33
