Psalm 4:8 I will both lie down in peace and sleep; for You alone, O Jehovah, make me dwell in safety.
A good night’s sleep is a blessing we often take for granted, a good night’s rest is OK, but I think most of us would rather, lay our head on the pillow, sleep restfully and wake up completely rested. Yet when this is our normal pattern we do not think of the night’s when we tossed and turned, coughed and spluttered and kept everyone else in the home out of sleep. So we all have times when we need to be reminded of a blessing we have, and the easiest way for us to miss the blessing is not to have it for a while.
The more aware we become of the blessings we do have the thankful we become and the more we have to praise God. So if we have financial security it is a blessing, if we have a happy contented family it is a blessing, if we have work and so on. Yet there are those that we just take for granted without giving them much thought until we realise we do not have it anymore, so it is a good thing to be reminded every now and again by God of how truly blessed we are.
Be encouraged today to count your blessings and give thanks and praise to God for them.
David
