Early Bird Gets the Worm??? Or does she get less sleep???

Early this morning about 3:40 am to be exact I was wide awake... I tried moving to the guest room to get some sleep when it failed I moved to the couch... and when that failed to work I found myself showering at 5 am... and for what you might ask? I have NO clue... or so I thought as I finished a nice warm shower and entered our freezing living room with our house being lit by the light of our Christmas lights alone... I began to realize that it was God that had made me get up at such an early hour! So I sit down on the couch for some much needed Jesus time! As I started reading today's devotion from a little book that a friend gave me a few weeks ago I began to cry. God knew exactly what I needed to get me through the day... and why should I be surprised HE always knows what I need. The verse for today was Romans 8:31 "If God is for us, who is against us?"

The Devotion said:
"I'm comforted when I realize that God is in sovereign control of all of life. He not only knows the times and the seasons; He is also Lord of the unexpected and the unpredictable. Our times and our trials are in His hands. Even when we feel embarrassed or confused or do something really weird. Whether we're on cloud nine, enjoying His blessings, or caught in the thicket of some tangled predicament, He hasn't let us go. By HIS grace, HE remains 'for us'."

But that's not all God had in store for me at that early hour! I continued then to read through some of Romans and found myself reading this verse which I will leave you with today in hopes that it will bring some encouragement to any of you reading this!
Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

So no matter what your circumstances be reminded as I was this morning that God is always on your side, He's much BIGGER than anything you are going through, and NOTHING can separate you from HIS LOVE!!!
