October 1st, 2013 by Pastor SolleyPs 121:1-5 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
This must be a difficult day for those who depend upon the government to take care of them, for those who depend upon “Big Brother” for everything, to wake up and know that there has been a government shutdown must be a hard thing. Most people who think for themselves know that something has to change, that we can’t go on as we have been as a nation for much longer, and now we have this funding problem. What will happen no one knows for sure. But think of our text this morning dear Christian and the truth contained in verses 3 and 4. The one that we depend upon will never shut down, will never run out or diminish, the one we depend upon will never slumber or sleep, but is always there taking care of us. What a blessing to depend upon the Lord Jesus Christ this morning and not the United States government to take care of us. The government shutdown means little to me, not because I have my head buried in the sand but because the one who takes care of me never slumbers or sleeps, the one who takes care of me will never shut down.
