The Eye That Never Sleeps

In my distress I cried to the Lord, and He heard me. - Psalm 120:1

Detective Allan Pinkerton became famous in the mid-1800s by solving a series of train robberies and foiling a plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln as he traveled to his first inauguration. As one of the first agencies of its kind in the US, the Pinkerton National Detective Agency gained even more prominence because of its logo of a wide-open eye with the caption, "We Never Sleep."

There is no better feeling than knowing you are protected and secure. You feel peaceful when the doors are locked and all is quiet as you drift off to sleep at night. You feel safe. But many lie awake in their beds with fearful thoughts of the present or dread of the future. Some are afraid of commotion outside or of a spouse who has been violent. Some cannot rest because of worry over a rebellious child. Others are anxiously listening to make sure a seriously ill child is still breathing.

These are the times when our loving God encourages us to cry out to Him, to the One who will neither "slumber nor sleep". Psalm 34:15 reminds us that "the eye of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry."

Pinkerton may have been the original "private eye," but the One who really has the eye that never sleeps is listening to the cries of "the righteous".

Before you sleep, just gently lay

Every troubled thought away;

Drop your burden and your care

In the quiet arms of prayer. - Anon

We can sleep in peace when we remember that God is awake.

Psalm 121

I life 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.

That's why I was being so relax almost all the time while others are nervous worry and wonder... I just continue my happy day... XP ...

Is that so hard to uphold everything to Him and just sit back and relax after doing your part? You do your best, God will do the rest... :) just smile and look at the sky outside the window, enjoy the fellowship while hanging around with friends... That is the most happy lifestyle I could find...
