MEMORY VERSE: “Behold he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.” Psalms 121:4
BIBLE TEXT: PSALMS: 121:1-8
1. 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.
6. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.
LESSON INTRODUCTION: God never sleeps nor slumbers, He’s eternally awake. He is available every minute of every day for the entirety of our lives and into eternity. We need rest for the body and mind, but our God does not faint or grow weary Isaiah 40:28.
It is when you become an enemy of God that you begin to look for security from other sources. when you have him on your side, you are not afraid in the day or at night because you know He is there to protect you Proverb 18:10.
TEXT REVIEW: PSALMS 121:1-8
i. My help comes from the Lord.
ii. God never slumbers or sleeps and will not allow you to stumble.
iii. God is your protection and shade, He will protect you from the heat of the sun and the cold of the moon night (meaning He will shelter you).
LESSON OUTLINE:
EXAMPLE OF WHERE STRENGTH AND OTHER SOURCES OF SECURITY FAILED PEOPLE IN THE BIBLE
1. God made the enemies guarding Peter to sleep and He rescued Peter from them, Acts 12:1-11
2. Paul and Silas praised God in prison while the jailers were fast asleep and they did not wake up until they were an earthquake and the prisoners were released Acts 16:25-27
3. King Saul and his soldiers pursuing David also fell asleep and David removed his sword and still spared his life 1 Samuel 26:7-16
4. The Bible also tells us in Psalm 76:5-6 that all the enemies of God will be made to sleep while our God that neither sleeps nor slumbers remains awake.
ACTIVITY: If God never sleeps nor slumber why do some Christians still fall prey to physical or spiritual insecurity?
SUMMARY: God nature is not like that of a mortal, therefore he does not possess the weakness of a mortal.
CONCLUSION: what you need to do to remain safe forever is to fear God. Don’t let anything separate you and Him because if He is in on your side, you can sleep in peace and wake up in peace. Do not put your trust in any human security because they can fail. Put your trust in the One who never sleeps nor slumbers and He will take care of you.
