Psalms 4:8
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
I feel awful today. No, it is not Covid. Spring is not my friend. I tend to come down with asthmatic bronchitis thanks to allergies. I always feel awful when I feel awful. Ok, that even sounded weird to me. What I mean is I feel guilty when I am sick. I know there are a million things I should or need to do and yet, dragging myself off the couch to walk to the bathroom takes all of my energy. In reality, I tend to have this grandiose idea that the world cannot go on without me. Arrogant right? I am going to guess many of you have the same feeling . . . LOL!
Today’s verse reminds life is just fine. God is still running the world and can do so without me. I can lay down and sleep, for He alone makes me dwell in safety. Sometimes that safety is from me. It is not only OK for me to check out of the world for the day, it is what is best for me.
Our God is a great big God. He loves us and loves it when we are His hands and feet on Earth. He wants us to spread His word and love to others. He also loves us so much that He provides us with peace so we can lie down and refresh ourselves.
Lord, thank You for giving me the day off!
