As I lay in bed the enemies doubts and worries surround me. As I try to rest my eyes from my day that was filled with Jesus and my children. The enemy knows that rest is promised to the believer and he doesn't have the right to take it away. That won't stop him though from stealing the abundant life God has promised us. He even attacks our children from this life of abundance.
Tonight Isaiah said "I don't have a dad, well an earthly dad."
Things like this always stop me in my tracks. Although I know God's promises, my heart still aches for my kids who in fact do not have a physical earthly father who shows them any kind of fatherly affection or love. So many more things can happen in our day as we live our lives according to God's will and plan. Even on our days when we've spent most of our day for the kingdom, you better believe the enemy will be there to steal, kill and destroy.
I choose not to let him. Not tonight or never. I let him steal far too many years from my past to give him another second of the present.
So when these doubts come our way even as we try to rest we remember God's word that is filled with truth and promises. God's word will never fade away, heaven and earth shall pass but not God's word. Everything in it has come to pass but a few things and we can take His word to the bank that those things will most definitely pass.
So tonight as I hear the worries of my earthly fatherless children I stand strong on God's promises. A peace can reside within me knowing the Lord is sovereign and loves them more then I do.
So what's keeping you awake tonight. Or what's keeping your mind on things that are NOT of eternity? Give it to Jesus because He loves you far greater then you'll ever understand. He doesn't want to see you hurting or losing sleep or joy from something that's not in your control anyway.
He is good my friends and He will do a good thing! (Encouraging my heart tonight)
