HE THAT KEEPETH ISRAEL...

Poor Santa, had to take a nap. But as you go into the New Year be aware of the fact that our God never sleeps and is diligently looking out for his own. We can take comfort going into the new year the words of the Psalmist.

Psalm 121:3-4 “He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.”

This picture reminds me of Proverbs 6:10

“Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep.
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.”

There are many like Santa in the world who would promise comfort and ease (A fairy-tale). Many false shepherds who claim to be watching out for us;

“He knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you’re awake”.

The words of that song are a false promise…

The only one who knows our coming in and our going out is our Jehovah, our Prince of Peace, Our King of Kings, our Bright and Morning Star, our EMMANUEL-GOD WITH US. Our one and only savior Jesus. It is He Who watches over us in this year and the next. In this life and the next. Put not your hopes and dreams in the illusion that is the world’s holiday, put your life in the hands of the king-born in a manger, born to set the captive free, born-the King of the Jews, and the savior of the world.

Merry Christmas.

And yes that is a very cute picture…I know that is not the real Santa anyway…lol
