My Burden is Lifted

After a long dream that ended with me eating the moon and stars at a picnic, I lay partially awake in bed and began stretching my arms overhead to ease the tension in my back. That nagging backache has been with me for a couple of years and no amount of stretching advice that my mother gave me had helped.

Just then, my shoulders responded with several cracking sounds. I shifted my body a little to see if I could move. Not only was I alright, but the tension in my back was gone! Praise God!

I was reminded of the bible verse that had been in my phone app for the past couple of days, a sobering warning about what is to come.

Watch Yourselves

34 “But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. 35 For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

- Luke 21:34-36 (ESV)

Stay awake, my friend!
