A Warm Bed

Have you ever thanked God for your bed?

Before we left for Canada, our house in Caloocan had deteriorated to the point where our roof had holes. Whenever it rained, water would drip from the ceiling. We had to move the furniture and put basins to catch the water. It was difficult to sleep during a storm as I feared waking up with water around me.

What a great blessing to have a dry bed! When my mind is troubled and I can’t sleep, I feel my body against the warm and soft bed cover. I huddle under the blanket, and immediately I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Everything else may be in chaos, but on my bed, I can rest in God’s comforting embrace. If God can take care of my earthly needs, will He not take care of the rest?

My God will fully supply whatever you need, in accord with his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)
