I am sure that this is a line that all of you have heard at one time or another in your life wether it be from a friend, parent, spouse, child or boss.

Early this morning, around 3:30 am I woke up out of a deep sleep and could not for the life of me get comfortable enough to fall back asleep.

Sadly, I have not been giving my relationship with God top priority and have let it fall a little farther down the “To Do List” that it shouldn’t even be on in the first place. I knew that my being wide awake at 4:00 was God telling me “We need to talk. It’s been to long.” Just like my relationship with my husband and children, my relationship with God requires daily communication, conversation and alone time. I guess since my attitude has quite honestly been stinking lately, I just didn’t feel like going to the Father in prayer or spending time with Him in devotions. But since He  ALWAYS knows better than I do, He knew that some one on one time was exactly what I need and He wanted to show me great things.

So I climbed on out of bed, made a steaming hot mug of my favorite mint tea.

Grabbed my Bible and let the Spirit do the leading.

Psalms 136:11-16, 23-24

…and brought Israel out from among them,

His love endures forever.

with a mighty hand and outstretched arm;

His love endures forever.

to him who divided the Red Sea asunder

His love endures forever.

and brought Israil through the midst of it,

His love endures forever.

but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea;

His love endures forever.

to him who led his people through the desert,

His love endures forever.

to the One who remembered us in our low estate

His love endures forever.

and freed us from our enemies,

His love endures forever.

And my most favorite of the Psalms:

Psalm 139:1-12

O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.

You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

You discern my going out and my lying don; you are familiar with all my ways.

Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.

You hem me in – behind and before;you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from you Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heaves, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settel on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,”  even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

Um, HELLO! Can we say, hit between the eyes?! Psalm 139:13 goes on to read “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” Of course I was hit between the eyes. That’s no surprise. He is my creator and knows everything about me. He knew that I needed to read those specific verses, His very own promises to me, so that I would be reminded of His greatness and stop with the pity party I’ve been throwing.

Even though I know that there is never any circumstance in this life that God will not provide for me, a was not stepping out in faith and letting Him do that for me. God is the author of all things and He knows what all my tomorrows hold and along with that, He has a plan.

When will I learn to have the faith of a mustard seed? There is no need to worry as long as I keep on talking to Him and let Him lead the way.
