PSALM 121
Allan J. Pinkerton was a Scottish-American detective and spy, best known for creating the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. He successfully foiled a plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln as he traveled to his first inauguration and also brought down some of the country’s most ruthless criminals. The Pinkerton National Detective Agency gained even more prominence because of its logo of a wide-open eye with the caption, “We Never Sleep.”
There is no better feeling than knowing we are protected and secure. Many lie awake in their beds with fearful thoughts of the present or dread of the future. Some are afraid of the insecurity in our society. Some cannot rest because of worry over a rebellious child. Others are anxiously listening to make sure a seriously ill relative is still breathing.
Psalm 34:15 reminds us that “The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry.”
Pinkerton may have been a good “private eye,” but the One who really has the eye that never sleeps is God.
We can sleep in peace when we remember that God is awake.
Thank You Lord for watching over us in Jesus’ name. Amen.
