SLEEP

The word alone seems foreign now that we have a newborn in the house. She sleeps. And she is beautiful when she does. But Cassie and I, we don’t sleep, at least not like we used to.

Before, there was nothing outside of us to take away sleep. Now, there is this child. And she requires a lot. Feedings, diapers, blowouts, changing clothes, cleaning, cuddling, and even a little admiring here and there, (for she really is cute) all leave little time left for sleep.

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.
(Psalms 121:3-4 ESV)

Aren’t you glad our Father in Heaven never sleeps? He never tires of caring for His people. Every hunger is satisfied, every need is met, every mess we make cleaned up, and when everything seems to be going against us, His loving arms are there to cuddle us.

What a Father! He is truly someone who can be called on at any time of the night, any time of the day, and it can just be a simple plea of “Help,” and He will be there.

Honor your Heavenly Father today, call on Him. Don’t call on your television, or your job, or even your own means to help you today. Call on God, he is awake, and waiting for you to lift your eyes toward Him.
