“Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. Psalm 91:14
Do you think it’s fair that my family makes me their entertainment? So I get tired, doesn’t everybody? Ok, maybe there’s been the occasional time that I’ve nearly fallen asleep at the table. The youngest tends to take FOREVER to eat. Maybe my friends used to say that there was a lullaby put into the previews of movies that nobody could hear but me. Hey, if they gave me a comfy couch and blanket, what did they expect? Well, perhaps that still happens.
Do you know what the hubby does? I’m on to him! I thought it was sweet how every now and then, out of the blue, he’d tell me he loves me. Wouldn’t you know that those are the times I happen to have the remote? That’s his way to check to see if I’m completely out before snatching it from me and changing the channel!
Do you know what else he does? He tries to talk to me just as I’m falling asleep to listen to the odd conversations I’ll have with him. Oh, and let’s not forget how he rubs my ear (the off button) just to see how fast it will put me to sleep. I’ll drop off for a second, but once my head bobs, it wakes me back up. I look up to see the boys watching me and laughing because it’s sooo amusing. That’s just not right!
As much as I shake my head at their shenanigans, I’m so very thankful that I feel completely comfortable and protected that I’m able to fall asleep so quickly and know that I’m safe. My family gives me that, and so does the Lord.
Please pray with me today for the ones that don’t feel safe closing their eyes. Pray for the Lord to rescue them and protect them when the very ones that should be doing the protecting are the ones that can’t be trusted. We don’t understand the whys, but I have faith that nothing is too big for the Protector.
