Your Sleepless Guardian
Commentators unanimously highlight that God's protection is constant and unending. Unlike all creation which needs rest, "He that keepeth thee will not slumber." Scholars like Albert Barnes and John Calvin stress that God's eyes are always on you, day and night, through good times and bad. This isn't a distant, general oversight but a personal, active, 24/7 watchfulness over your life.
