Psalm 121 verses 3 and 4.

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.

This is an awesome reality that we are reminded of literally every single day or at least we should think about every single day

or at least we're reminded of in our lives we need to remember

this at the same time about God. So every single day you and I require sleep.

Like there's been times, there are days when I've gone without sleep,

but it's been clear that I need sleep. And same's true with you even if you try to pull an all-nighter and stay up like at some point

You need to lay down and go to sleep and it's a pretty humbling thing isn't it? Like think about it, God didn't have to create us this way.

God did not have to create us such that every night our bodies are totally worn down.

We have to lay down like a sack of potatoes and go unconscious for a number of hours in order

to recharge and go again. God made us in such a way that we have to sleep. It's a pretty

humbling thing and you know what happens while we sleep, God keeps going. He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. So you and I can run frantically through this life like trying to

get all these things done like the world will fall apart if we don't do these

things but every single day for hours we are laying down and

apparently the world goes on it's a pretty humbling thing that we are creatures who must sleep and it

brings us to yet one more difference between us and our Creator because he never sleeps and this is really good news.

When you and I lay our heads down at night we can fall asleep knowing that the one who sustains all things, the

one who holds all things together and the one who loves us and is committed to

caring for us and providing for us is working even while we are
