Devotion

Bedtime Rest
 
John 14:27 (CSB) “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled or fearful.”
 
If you’re married – who goes to bed with you and your spouse at night? If you’re single – who else is getting in your bed with you? These are fair questions to ask, because anything that you have on your mind that infringes on your inner peace is an uninvited guest in your boudoir. Nothing has the authority to interrupt your Godly peace – unless - you give it permission to. When you do life on your own and in your own strength, you are never able to put down the load that you carry. It stays on your mind wherever you go – even to bed. However, by doing life everyday with Jesus – in every interaction, every decision, every enjoyment, and every difficulty – you will find that you can rest in His peace at night – snuggled with your spouse or as the sole proprietor of your comforting bed. Tonight – why don’t you leave the world to its own affairs, and indulge in the peace Jesus offers for your bedtime rest?
