I often have trouble sleeping.  I remember lots of crazy dreams each morning, which makes me think that when I do get to sleep in portions of the night, that I am not hitting a deep enough REM cycle to take advantage of restful sleep.  I am also a night owl, not a morning person, and I do my best writing at night.

This is an especially complicated problem on Sunday mornings... an over-heated church building only makes my eyelids heavier when it comes time for the sermon.  I have been known to stand up at the back of the auditorium or gym in order to stay awake and attentive.

This past Sunday, in a devotional, we read Psalm 121, which mentions that God does not sleep or slumber.  One of the words in Spanish implies that He doesn't get sleepy.  What a wonderful thought!  God is watching over me, and He is attentive to everything I and every one of His children are doing - without batting an eye, without getting sleepy.

"I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. 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. The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." (Psalm 121:1-8 NIV)
