Late night thoughts
As I lay here and try to quiet my mind and heart before I drift off into sleep, my body decides it wants to fight the coming rest. Like clockwork, my mind comes alive when I lay my head back on my flatter-than-normal-pillow and I end up remaining wide-awake for hours. Like now. So I played some worship music that speaks God's truth into my tired soul. The words of this beautiful song "hit the spot": The night is dark but I am not forsaken For by my side, the Savior He will stay I labour on in weakness and rejoicing For in my need, His power is displayed To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me Though the deepest valley He will lead Oh the night has been won and I shall overcome, yet not I, but through Christ in me Sleep well, my friends and know that the Great Shepherd is watching over thee. Rest now.
