Sleep... Or The Lack Thereof


It’s 2:46am and I have yet to have gone to sleep.  Not only tonight but pretty much every night since I can’t remember when.  It seems that at least one of my medications is the cause of my current insomnia.  Hmmm... if I did not absolutely have to take these medications, I might get some sleep.  And yet... the Lord has used these sleepless nights to draw me closer to Himself.  How like Him!
Most nights I read and/or play games on my phone.  However, my favorite way to spend my nightly hours is to listen to my Christian music on my phone.  It brings me to my Savior’s feet and brings His Presence ever closer.  Yes, I’d love to get some sleep, but the Lord obviously gets the greatest glory in strengthening, helping and upholding me by His righteous right hand each day as I do those things that He puts before me to do.  It’s so easy to see Him doing that in my life as I accomplish His tasks for each day.  Although I am exhausted, He alone makes my days possible.  It’s a very humbling place to be and a very amazing place to be at the same time.  I certainly only want to be where He has me and know that He will take loving care of me in the midst of it all.  Once again all I can do is curl up in His arms and watch how He carries me through it all.  Amazing... simply amazing!  
“It is God Who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.  He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; He enables me to stand on the heights.”  Psalm 18:32-33
“I can do everything through Him Who gives me strength.”  Philippians 4:13
