Our Ever Present God

Bible Text: Psalm 121:3-4

Sleep here shows a pause in our normal activities. Irrespective of whether we sleep talk or sleep walk, we are still very much asleep. When asleep we are mostly unawares of our environment.

There is One who never sleeps, always active, always working, the Most High God.
He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber; Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep(Psalm 121:3-4)

God is ever present, 24/7. And the icing on the cake is that He deals with us on a personal basis. He never forgets to wake us up, he never forgets to supply us with just the amount of Oxygen. With God it is not a one-to-many relationship. It is a one-to-one relationship. 

Out of fear we may think God will not see us through the situations that overwhelms us. Like Sarah we may laugh off the news of good things God can do for us out of doubt. (Genesis 18:12) But we have a God who never sleeps, he is always putting the pieces of our lives together to bring out a beautiful picture each and every day. His plans are to bring us success and an expected end. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)

God never sleeps means our prayers reach him in real-time. He knows what we need before we even open our mouths or hearts to place our request.  So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. (Matthew 6:31-32)

 God never sleeps means he is always Protecting, always Loving, always Providing, always Healing, always Beautifying our lives. Put your trust in this God who never sleeps and never slumbers and you will not regret it.

Do you feel that the Lord has forgotten your need. 
Just remember that God is always working in ways you cannot see.

Our God is able. 
He is mighty. 
He is faithful.
And He never sleeps, He never slumbers. 
He never tires of hearing our prayer. 
When we are weak He becomes stronger. 
So rest in His love and cast all of your cares on Him.

(Don Moen - He never sleeps)




Prayer: Lord Jesus, I commit my life in your hands. I put my trust in put for you are working in ways I cannot see. You are the God who never sleeps and never slumbers.

And unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ever ask or think, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.




Amen!
