TRUSTING GOD AS THE NIGHT

I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the LORD was watching over me. (Psalm 3:5)

God speaks in mysterious ways. He made me realize that TRUSTING HIM is like SLEEPING AT NIGHT.

We know that the night is enveloped in darkness. Everything is covered in shadows. Even if we try to look at it and understand, we actually don't know what's going on.


In the midst of its black presence, we are not totally sure about our safety. Let's say we fortify our walls, we may think that we are already safe from natural disasters such earthquakes, fires, storms, etc. But what if we get a heart attack? The fortified walls can't save us.


Yet, despite of these uncertainties, we close our eyes and lie down. Then, we wake up, rise up, and see the beautiful sunshine of the day.


THAT'S HOW WE SHOULD TRUST GOD. Regardless of our troubles in life, we lie down in the hope of God's love for us. As we look forward to seeing the sunrise, we also hope for God's grace throughout the day.


Therefore, God has designed us NOT TO WORRY and FOR WORRIES. Just like how he created the night for us to lie down at night, He wants us to fully trust Him in whatever we do.
