An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

Attributes

(Psa 121:4 KJV)  Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

When I think of the attributes of God, this is one that never occurred to me.  God does not sleep.  I don’t know if this is just figurative speech, or whether it is literal, but it seems to say that God does not need sleep like we do.  We talked about being created in His image, evidently that doesn’t mean sleep.

God doesn’t need refreshment.  God doesn’t need downtime.  God does not need rest.  He’s on the job all the time, not because He’s an employee but because He is God.

So? He’s watching you and He is watching out for you. I hope that is a comfort.
