Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Is God the God of your life? He says that whether we, His chosen, are sleeping or awake, He is always present with us. What a wonderful promise!

If I am not sleeping well I can pray. I can praise Him for His wonderful Love that covers me. In those tender times I can actually hear a song in my heart and enjoy His peaceful presence. If there is pain that awakens me, I walk and talk to the Lord. He is my friend, my best friend.

Do not be discouraged by the hard things you encounter on your journey. This is part of living in a fallen world. Just know that even in the night the Lord is lovingly watching over you. Use the wakeful times to seek His face and give Him praise.

Psalm 63:6-8 says, "When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches. Because You have been my help, therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me."

Day and night...Psalm 42:8 says, "The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me--a prayer to the God of my life."

Although the enemy of our souls wants us to be slack in our desire for the Lord, we must remain steadfast to Him. He gave His life for every person on this planet. If you have received Jesus as your Lord and King then, be alert, always.

I Peter 5:8-11 says, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen."

As the Day of the LORD approaches, our enemy, that old lion doesn't sleep day or night does he? He knows his time is short. He is so old that his teeth have fallen out! That is the way I like to think of him. He can growl, try to pounce on my body, try to wear me out so my joy is just a tiny trickle. Yet, on God's faithful Word I will abide in! Day and night. I will depend on the Lord Jesus and be filled with His Spirit; drinking Living Water and eating the Bread of Life daily for my strength.

The Lord remains Faithful and True! Oh, I pray you know intimately the power of God working in your life. Don't be afraid to take the way less traveled. His path is the right one. God bless and keep you in the matchless name of Jesus, amen.

Abundance is...because He Lives!
