But neither one could seem to go to sleep. They both tossed & turned until late in the night. Finally, the little boy asked, “Daddy, are you looking at me? Because if you are, I think I can go to sleep.” And the father answered, “Yes son, I’m looking at you.”

The little boy started at last to rest & finally fell asleep. After he was asleep the father got out of bed, walked over to the window & pulled back the curtain. He looked up into the starry sky & said, “Father, are you looking at me? Because if you are, I think I can rest & be at peace.”

1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains— 

         where does my help come from? 

      2 My help comes from the LORD, 

         the Maker of heaven and earth. 

      3 He will not let your foot slip— 

         he who watches over you will not slumber; 

      4 indeed, he who watches over Israel 

         will neither slumber nor sleep. 

      5 The LORD watches over you— 

         the LORD is your shade at your right hand; 

      6 the sun will not harm you by day, 

         nor the moon by night. 

      7 The LORD will keep you from all harm— 

         he will watch over your life; 

      8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going 

         both now and forevermore.

Psalm 121:1–8 (NIV)

Some of you are trying to live life under your own strength. Though you sleep, you are never still. Always worried for the next day and always a thought of what next needs to be accomplished. We are reminded in this Psalm that we belong to the Lord. Our Father is watching us and our way. We are never out of His sight and we are never forgotten. 

May the Lord keep you and watch over you, may His face shine upon you, and may you feel His peace as you remember your Father is watching.
