**Daily Devotional**
Giraffes have the shortest sleep cycle of any mammal. They sleep only between 10 minutes and 2 hours in a 24-hour period and average just 1.9 hours of sleep per day. Seemingly always awake, the giraffe has nothing much in common with most humans in that regard. If we had so little sleep, it would probably mean we had some form of insomnia. But for giraffes, it?s not a sleep disorder that keeps them awake. It?s just the way God has made them.
If you think 1.9 hours a day is not much sleep, consider this fact about the Creator of our tall animal friends: Our heavenly Father never sleeps.
Describing God?s continual concern for us, the psalmist declares, ?He who keeps you will not slumber? (Ps. 121:3). In the context of this psalm, the writer makes it clear that God?s sleepless vigilance is for our good. Verse 5 says, ?The Lord is your keeper.? God keeps us, protects us, and cares for us?with no need for refreshing. Our Protector is constantly seeking our good. As one song puts it: ?He never sleeps, He never slumbers. He watches me both night and day.?
Are you facing difficulties? Turn to the One who never sleeps. Each second of each day, let Him ?preserve your going out and your coming in? (v.8). ? Bill Crowder
The Rock of Ages stands secure,
He always will be there;
He watches over all His own
To calm their anxious care. ?Keith
The One who upholds the universe will never let you down.
