You and I have received an amazing blessing from God today: We woke up! Of all the blessings God gives us, that’s a blessing that we often take for granted. For 6 or 7 or 8 hours you were asleep, completely oblivious to what was going on around you. Yet, God protected you. He watched over you. Then he opened your eyes again. “I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me” (Psalm 3:5).
Even something that seems so simple like waking up is impossible for us to do without the Lord. Our same Savior Jesus who guards our souls with his forgiveness and grace protects our bodies too, waking or sleeping. May the God who in his grace allowed you to wake up today sustain you through the day.
