Ep. 147: Trusting in the Only Guard Who Never Sleeps

SHOW NOTES:

 

In Podcast Episode 147, “Trusting in the Only Guard Who Never Sleeps,” Kim discusses the danger we face when we entrust our safety to a guard who cannot protect us 24/7. How much more reasonable is it to put your ultimate trust in the guard who never sleeps? 

 

The primary scripture text for this episode is 1 Samuel 26 with  5 and 12 as the focal verses.

 

5 David slipped over to Saul’s camp one night to look around. Saul and Abner son of Ner, the commander of his army, were sleeping inside a ring formed by the slumbering warriors. 

 

12 So David took the spear and jug of water that were near Saul’s head. Then he and Abishai got away without anyone seeing them or even waking up, because the Lord had put Saul’s men into a deep sleep.

 

ADDITIONAL VERSES:

 

2 My help comes from the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth!

3 He will not let you stumble;
    the one who watches over you will not slumber. (Psalm 121:2-3)

 

Psalm 121

 

Psalm 91
