Have you ever experienced a poke from God, while engaging in less than wise behavior? Oh, I don’t mean bad or sinful behavior. I get those all the time. I mean things like questionable eating decisions or watching movies into the middle of the night. Unwise choices.

Well, I do. I had one last night, in fact. While binge watching The Crown, the battery on my tablet started to fade. I had to switch from ear buds to wireless ear phones, so that I could charge the tablet and continue watching. Quietly getting out of bed, I looked for the ear phones and looked and looked and looked.

Picture this foolish woman tiptoeing around the bedroom with a flashlight, so she would not disturb the household, searching for a pair of earphones at 2:00 in the morning! Looking high and low. I made three circuits around the room. And, I could not find them anywhere. I was sure that they were in plain view, but I could not locate them.

Then it hit me. This is a soft message from my heavenly Father, gentle Savior and Blessed Dove: “Go to bed. It is two o’clock in the morning. This entertainment will still be here in the morning. And, you, my child, will be able to find the earphones in the light of day.”
I went to bed, quite tired at that hour of the morning and slept soundly. When I awoke, I found the missing earphones lying quietly on the floor next to my chair where I had left them.

Some might say that it is a stretch to say the God sent me this message. But I choose to believe that these messages do come from a loving God who wants only my best interest, my happiness in this world and the next.

I say this because I know that God loves you (and me) unconditionally! Sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite.

“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.”
Psalm 4:8
