HIS ARMS

 
Good morning!

How are you this fine Thursday? I pray that you had a great night. I sure did. I have never been a deep sleeper. But the last 6 months or so I have really been sleeping so much better. I don't know if it is the supplements I am taking or the lavender lotion or what but it is working. I was always a light sleeper and woke up so much. If I drank anything with caffeine at any time I would be awake a lot of the night or wake up many times and not sleep real sound when I did sleep. But now, praise the Lord, I am sleeping soundly. I am so thankful.

Sleep is so important for a healthy lifestyle. It really makes you feel better during the day. But you don't realize that until you start sleeping good and then, wow, it really makes a difference.

In the Bible, it talks a lot about sleep as sleeping with someone. Well, I am talking about getting rest when you go to sleep.

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, 
because the Lord sustains me.
Psalm 3:5

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you 
alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4:8
 
In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food 
to eat— for he grants sleep to those he loves.
Psalm 127:2
 
When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when 
you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
Proverbs 3:24
 
There are many more scriptures on sleep but I chose these because they show God's love for us and how He cares for us. He cares how we live for Him and how we sleep for the rest to refresh our bodies. God is amazing!

So, the Lord sustains us, He makes us dwell in safety, He grants sleep to those He loves, and when we lie down, we will not be afraid and our sleep will be sweet. Oh, how He loves us. He even cares about our sleep.

As you sleep tonight, revel in the comfort of God's loving arms, knowing that He loves us and cares for us at all times of the day and night.

Have a fantastic day! I will!

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

Image
  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
