He Never Sleeps He never tires...

God is faithful. He never sleeps, he never tires of hearing our prayers. I seem to be listening to a lot of "Don Moen" lately.. hehe.. blame it on the recent Festival of Praise. Don Moen was great!

Anyway, that aside, his song, "He never sleeps" speaks about how God never tires of hearing our prayers, our needs.

“One day I realised I had prayed the same thing to God every night,” says Moen in introduction of “He Never Sleeps.” “But God is never too tired to hear our prayers, even it’s the same everyday. He is one that never sleeps.”

And so,.. God is never far, never distant, never too busy for us. HE's always there. Forgiving, loving, welcoming.

But, isn't God too good, that we take His Love forgranted? We think we have 1 day more to repen, or that we'll surely have another chance the next time. We relax. And then we slip. And before we know it, we fall.

That sounds really bad. But did you also know that God is ever patient? If we fell, he'll pick us up. He died on the cross so that we might live. HE already took the fall for us. If we felt we've fallen, we simply have to say "sorry" to Jesus.

We might end up thinking... "If Only.. if only... if only...."

But what could we have done differently? We all have our fair share of failures and successes.

So then, if we are not just complaining (or in a self-pitiful mode)... and if we really needed something, such as "if only I was well again..." .. the answer is... "WHy NOT?" SImply... ASK the Lord - who is ever ready to give. ASK the Lord to change you, to move on your behalf.

Just have faith! We need to exercise our faith every now and then!

Well.. Unless... there's some barrier. Is there any sin, barrier, disbelief, doubt,.. in the Lord?

Let us strive to trust the Lord.. for HE is on OUR side. YOUR side. HE IS FOR US! Not against us. Let us also STAND for Him!

Let us never tire of serving Him, of praising and worshipping Him!

Let us pray in the Spirit!

Let us never sleep "spiritually" - let us be alert and watchful - for the gentle voice of the Spirit speaking to us as we pray to the Father.

Let us seek the Lord!

PSALM 8:4-8
What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen -- even the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas.
