I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night. Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely. Psalm 63:6-8 NLT

Am I the only one who does this? The laying awake at night part? What do you do with your awake moments?

You may ask why I get so into this worship thing I do. Let me just say this, the more I think on the Lord and all He’s done for me, I just get slap happy. Yeah, I want to slap Walt, but he’s not a morning person and would slap me back! I just get so happy, so excited.

I remember the night before I got married, I lay in bed thinking about it, wondering,(well, wondering if Walt was actually going to show up!) I was excited and couldn’t wait for my long awaited day to arrive.

When I wake in the morning and God is on my mind and I begin to think of my life with Him, how exciting it’s been, wondering what His plans hold for me today, sometimes I can’t go back to sleep. I just want to jump up and tell someone, “Look, it’s gonna be an awesome day because GOD is in it!”

It doesn’t matter what I face, I’m under the shadow of His Wing. That ugly devil can’t touch this! If he tries, my Father will slap him silly!

We have to trust God! He has a plan, and we’re in it! Don’t worry about your life, your health, your finances, your children, your job. Put your trust in God, He’s got this!

Hold your hands in front of you, palms up. Now offer it to the Lord. Say, “Here’s what’s bothering me, and it’s so silly for both of us to carry it. I trust you!” Then begin to remind Him of all He’s done in the past for you, get happy and worship Him.

He’s my life, my light, my joy, my help, my healer, my deliverer, my strong tower, my keeper, the lifter of my head, and my glory. Do you sense His presence? The more you talk of His greatness, it’s like cranking up the power to a light bulb. It just gets brighter and brighter and brighter.

I’m bursting, God. Your goodness is overwhelming!
