I had to put these two days together because they have felt like they have run together.
This week has been busy in that I’ve had a lot that absolutely needed to get done. But I’ve also had a cold, so I haven’t slept well and I have really been dragging throughout the day.
Yet, I am so thankful for a God that has sustained me. Psalm 3:5 says, “I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me” (ESV), and Psalm 54:4 says, “Surely God is my help; the LORD is the one who sustains me” (NIV).
These verses really describe how I have gotten through the last two or three days. Even though I’ve not slept well at night, when I do wake in the morning, I have just the right amount of strength to accomplish my tasks. And when I take a very much needed nap in the afternoon, that 15 minutes of sleep recharges me to get through until the evening.
What a comfort and blessing to know that God cares enough about me to sustain me and give me just the right amount of energy I need to get me through my day!
