The God Who Never Sleeps

Reading: Psalm 121:3–4

Devotional: Ancient idols required constant tending, but they could do nothing in return. Our God is completely different—He never slumbers nor sleeps. He is vigilant when we are vulnerable. He guards us in every moment, even when we are unaware.

A hospital chaplain once noted that dementia patients, though forgetting many things, could still sing hymns they learned as children. Why? Because God had been watching over them, planting His Word deep in their hearts. His care is constant, His presence unfailing.

Reflection Question: When have you felt unseen or unprotected, and how does the reality of God’s sleepless watch comfort you?

Action Step: Before bed tonight, thank God for being awake when you cannot be, and entrust Him with your worries.

“God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.” – John Piper
