The last
couple weeks I was working odd hours and a lot of night shifts, so I was forced
to neglect my correspondence on Facebook. Then I got a break and had a few
extra hours of awake time. I opened my computer and waiting for me were 98+
notifications, 3 friend requests and 4 messages. I like to keep up with new
friends and send personal messages to those who’ve shown interest in my writing,
so I knuckled down and got everything done before I went to bed. Correspondence
to reply to? Zero! What do you think happened while I slept?
I got up
early and checked my computer. I had 98 more notifications, 2 messages and
another friend request. My heart’s desire is to “go ye into all the world and preach the gospel,” (Mark 16:15).
I do it by writing true life stories about applying God’s Word to everyday
situations. I love writing and hearing the responses; It’s just that my writing
responsibilities were at zero when I went to bed, and now I had another full
load to take care of again. It’s a good thing I believe in what I’m doing.
Then I
remembered a promise from the Bible: God does not slumber or sleep. While I was
sleeping, He was busy taking care of business for me. “He will not allow your foot to slip or to be moved; He Who keeps you will not
slumber. Behold,
He who keeps Israel [His people, which includes us now] will neither slumber
nor sleep” (Psalm 121:3-4).
Even while we sleep: God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit and the
angels are still working on our behalf to get the gospel around the world, to
get our prayers answered and our lives blessed.
Love, Carolyn
