Sunday is Here, Friends!
Today I want to testify of the goodness of our Father. I want to give Him the credit that He is deserves.
I want to impart to you, hope in the benefits of seeking the LORD, first, in times of need.
I could not sleep restfully through the night for many months without some type of sleeping help, and even with those, my sleep was not of good quality. I would wake up groggy and needing caffeine to make it through the day. Some nights, I wouldn’t sleep at all.
In April of this year, I began to realize what I had been doing to try to sleep, was never going to work and i was miserable. So I literally gave up my own ideas about rest, and began to earnestly seek the LORD’s wisdom and answer. It really was not long before He brought the answer to me! A picture is worth a thousand words!
I don’t recall having this deep quality of rested sleep since I was a teenager. To actually get to REM SLEEP and dream again, is a powerful gift from God! I don’t always sleep 9-12 hours 😂 unless I really want to, but I can!
I am waking up alert and feeling so peaceful and ready for the day. No caffeine needed! Thank God!
My word for today is “Seek the LORD for the things you need”.
Seek Him with all your heart.
Seek Him because you know He is good and He hears your prayers.
As you seek, remember all the good things He has done for you in the past.
Give Him praise for all the many ways He has rescued you and brought you through hard times.
Seek Him, in His Beauty, His wisdom and His direction. Then watch and see what He reveals to you.
When He brings the answer, don’t be tempted to look away for another way. God is not bi-polar; He is all-knowing and His ways are right and true. He is steadfast and kind. You can trust Him.
When He answers, step out in faith and do the hard thing. It will be an Ebenezer Stone of Remembrance in your faith-walk with your Father.
His eye is on the sparrow and He is always watching you too.
“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.””
Matthew 11:28-30 NLT
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT
