不間斷的看顧�
經文: ��「保護以色列的，也不打盹也不睡覺。」（詩篇一二一︰4）'T�Z�
耶和華是「以色列的守護上帝」，祂既不需要睡覺，也無需打盹，祂的意識隨時都是清醒的。祂既保守祂百姓的心，也看顧祂百姓的屋，那就是為什麼我們可穩妥無驚的享受安息。亞歷山大說他可以安枕而眠，因為有朋友潘米歐（Parmenio）的守衛，使他無後顧之憂，因為有誰的能力可與他相比？�
「看哪」，這話就吸引我們注意這真理。雅各拿一塊石頭當枕頭，倒頭便睡；而祂的上帝卻是清醒的，並在異象中，向祂的僕人顯現。當我們手無寸鐵地席地而眠，上帝要親自做我們的守護者看顧我們。�
上帝看顧祂的百姓，就像財主看守著祂的錢財，將軍守衛他的城池，或是哨兵站崗護衛著前線。無人能夠在這樣嚴密的看守下越雷池一步，所以，我們可以絕對放心地，將我們全人，交託在上帝的手中。祂絕對不會忘記我們，也不會停止看顧我們，祂要永遠地保守我們到底。�
喔，主啊，保守我，免得我漂蕩、遠離、走入歧途，以致滅亡。保守我，使我得以遵守您的命令。因著您不止息的看顧，保守我免得我像好吃懶做的人，遊手好閒，無所事事，以致一事無成。主啊，因為您的看顧，我得以過著有意義充實的人生。�
The Unfailing Watch
Scripture: "Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep" (Psalm 121:4).
Jehovah is "the Keeper of Israel." No form of unconsciousness ever steals over Him, neither the deeper slumber nor the slighter sleep. He never fails to watch the house and the heart of His people. This is a sufficient reason for our resting in perfect peace. Alexander said that he slept because his friend Parmenio watched; much more may we sleep because our God is our guard.
"Behold" is here set up to call our attention to the cheering truth. Israel, when he had a stone for his pillow, fell asleep; but His God was awake and came in vision to His servant. When we lie defenseless, Jehovah Himself will cover our head.
The LORD keeps His people as a rich man keeps his treasure, as a captain keeps a city with a garrison, as a sentry keeps watch over his sovereign. None can harm those who are in such keeping. Let me put my soul into His dear hands. He never forgets us, never ceases actively to care for us, never finds Himself unable to preserve us.
O my LORD, keep me, lest I wander and fall and perish. Keep me, that I may keep Thy commandments. By Thine unslumbering care prevent my sleeping like the sluggard and perishing like those who sleep the sleep of death.
