So I read in a devotional on my phone the other day about how our bed is our own sacred sanctuary. Now think about this...we can pretend to be who ever we want on a day to day basis, maybe a "big time" lawyer, when we really haven't had a case in 6 months or maybe the social butterfly of the town who seems to be everyones friend, but when at home there are really no friends at all. When we lay down at night in our beds there is no pretending with God. We are most vulnerable laying there with nothing to offer, but our thoughts and prayers. I think God enjoys that. Think about your bedroom...is it your hideaway from the world? Is it where you choose to have your quiet time with your Savior? Or is it cluttered with mess and maybe just somewhere that provides a place for you to rest at night? Either way you look at it your bed is where you bring yourself to have rest after your long day comes to an end. So in some way your bed is a safe place for you to go and be yourself. We don't have to be anyone special for God because to Him we are perfect. This is something I find great peace in. To my God I am perfect. He made me special and He has an unfailing love for me that will last forever. No matter where you sleep, on a California King or on a mat on the floor with no blanket, you have a sacred sanctuary where you can be vulnerable with God at night.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be. -Psalm 139 14-16
Lord help me to be thankful for my traquil quarters where I lay my head at night. Remind me that with all of the chaos in the world that I can relax and come to you as my self because you love me and made me perfect.
