God Does Not Sleep

After a bombing in London during WWII, people began the search through rubble for dead and injured bodies. All were accounted for except one old grandmother, a Mrs. Smith.

Later they found her in her bedroom asleep in her bed. When asked how she could sleep through all the bombing, her answer was priceless.

“Well, the Bible says that ‘He who keeps Israel never slumbers nor sleeps’. I decided there was no use for both of us staying up, so I just went to sleep and left it in the Lord’s hands.”

Psalm 121:4  Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

We can rest in Jesus in the midst of bombs or hurricanes or car wrecks or whatever stirs our fears. The lord let me sleep like a baby through Hurricane Ike a few years ago.
