My 2026 Theme Verses: Psalms 145:4-7 (ESV) One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

No sleep to the eyes - An all nighter for God? - Pslam 131-133
In Psalm 132 David states to God that he will not allow his eyes to sleep or his eye-lids to slumber until he has built the temple for God in Jerusalem. David is so dedicated to God he is willing to put aside his own comforts for God's plan and God's will. There are many students who will pull an all night study session to make sure they are prepared for test in school, but will any be willing to put aside their own needs to build something for God? Men get up early and deny themselves sleep to go fishing, but would they deny themselves any comfort to do something for God? Women get up on Black Friday to go shopping to get the best deals for Christmas, but would they deny themselves sleep to do something mighty for God? We seem to know what it is like to deny our body the comfort of sleep. We know the way to pull an all nighter. But, are we willing to put aside those comforts for God and for some act of pleasure to God? Would we pull an all nighter to give Him a gift from our love?
