Psalm 121:1-4 "I will lift up my eyes to the hills, From where comes my help? ² My help comes from the LORD,Who made heaven and earth. ³ He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber..⁴ Behold, He who keeps Israel, Shall neither slumber nor sleep."

Something to Think About: God doesn't need or require sleep. God is a 24/7 God who is always there when you need His help. The reason it is best to pray and meditate on God's Word early in the morning is because we have just woken up and our brains are quieter and open to hear God's Word early in the day before all of our activities begin. Isaiah reminds us of who God is and His power; "Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. ²⁹ He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. ³⁰ Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, ³¹ But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:28-31 David wrote about God's ability to make things right, in His timing; "For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You.⁵ The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity. ⁶ You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.  ⁷ But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.⁸ Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face." Psalm 5:4-8 God will meet you at your point of need, anytime of the day or night. Go to God, early and often and learn to draw on a strength that only comes from above; "But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them. Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You.¹² For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield." Psalm 5:11-12
