Our attentive God

You’ve kept track of my every toss and turn through the sleepless nights, Each tear entered in your ledger, each ache written in your book. – Psalm 56:8 MSG

I am a very light sleeper and often joke with my husband that I feel like a rotisserie chicken. I toss and turn all night, thank goodness he is a deep sleeper and my constant movement doesn’t wake him up.

When I read today’s verse it made me smile thinking of how attentive God is to everything about us. Nothing misses His watchful eyes. Our movements, our tears and every ache and pain, are noted by God; written in His book.

Think about that for a moment, the God of the Universe, cares about each and every detail of our lives. It’s mindblowing! He knows. He understands. He is right there with us, otherwise how would He know how many times we rolled around during the night, the number of hairs on our heads, or the tears we shed? He is with us, always.

Thank you Lord that You never leave us nor forsake us. Thank you for Your loving watchfulness over us. I pray we all sleep better knowing that You are right there with us. In Jesus’ name, amen.
