The story
Long ago, families walked a long way to Jerusalem to worship God. The road went up and down, over big hills. Some days it was hot. Some nights it was dark.
As they walked, they sang songs together. One song asked a big question: “I look up at the hills. Where does my help come from?”
Then they sang the answer: “My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!” The God who made the hills was walking with them.
“He will not let your foot slip,” they sang. “He who watches over you will not fall asleep.” God never gets sleepy. He never even takes a nap!
The sun will not hurt you by day, and the moon will not hurt you by night. God watches over you when you go out and when you come in.
So tonight, when you close your eyes, remember: God is awake. He is watching over you all night long. You can rest. Good night!
