Is it Naptime yet?
The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.” Nahum 1:7
Can you imagine going through life without sleep? We capture a glimpse of what life without sleep is like when our children are first born and have not yet adapted to this world. However, the sleep deprivation experienced at first is usually reconciled when our children are about three to four months old, or for some unfortunate parents, when their children are 18 years of age. Psalm 121:3-5, “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….”
But imagine a God who constantly watches over us and sees what is happening in our lives—that’s who He is! “He will not let your foot slip… He is your shade at your right hand.” Wow! A God who cares about what happens to us… to you. It is such a relief to know that even when we do finally get the sleep we need at night, or that wonderful Sunday afternoon nap, God is still awake… taking complete and total care of all our needs. What a wonderful God we serve!
Dear Lord, it is so comforting to know that you are in control all of the time. Thank you for watching out for me and for your unending protection. You are amazing! Help me to rest in your arms all day long. Amen.
