Hope in the Cell of Circumstances

Proverbs 3:…4I was crying to the LORD with my voice, And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah. 5I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.
Night defiantly whispers,
“No rest here. “Â And sleep
steals the covers,
tauntingly tapping tic-tock
on your brain.
Scripture is like a father’s
bedtime story to his child,
like a mother’s lullaby.
Remembered promises,
experienced and witnessed, repeat hope
in the cell of circumstances,
fluff pillows and prepare the heart
to receive just enough.
God tucks the soul
beneath the blanket of his wings
and feeds truth and comfort, though
our fallen bodies fail us.
