"I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me." Psalm 16:7
As I write this blog, I am preparing for bed. I've showered, brushed my teeth, jammies on, electric blanket on high. You know, all the necessary things that must be done before one curls in for a cozy night's sleep on a cold night. As I say my prayers tonight, I am asking God to speak to me through the night. My heart seeks his wisdom. My desire is to please him in all I say and do, but as I prepare for sleep, I know my own short comings.
Yet, I will not give up! I will lay this petition at his feet asking him to make me stronger, wiser, and more loving as I rise in the morning. Isn't it amazing that not only do we serve an awesome, God, but that we serve a God who never sleeps. He even guides us through the night! So, tonight as you prepare for bed, be reminded that God is truly in control.
He is working in us and for us- even as we sleep!
Rest well tonight beautiful friend!
Psalm 121: 1-8
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
