It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.Psalm 127:2 (ESV)
What a fantastic promise God gives us! We can work non-stop and lose sleep, but without God's blessings, our hard work is in vain. We also have a responsibility to take care of our health. When we pray and commit our lives to the Lord, He not only blesses us but gives us rest because He is faithful, and we are assured that He provides for us even when we sleep. This weekend, let us be intentional in taking time to rest our bodies, and primarily rest in God's presence and promises.
Father God, we thank You for your love and faithfulness. Thank You for watching over us even in our sleep. May we always trust You and put You first in every area of our lives. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
