I woke up one morning having trouble emotionally. My alarm didn’t go off as planned so I woke up with my husband’s alarm. I reluctantly got out of bed remembering an awful and triggering dream I had in the night that brought on a sense of hopelessness as a result. But with my morning habits built in my brain I walked out each step of my routine by sheer discipline. When I sat down to take in my morning coffee while attempting my time with the Lord, I still had this strong negative emotion I was struggling with.
Pressing on I played a worship song on my phone that was waiting in the wings of another song I just listened to. When I played the video I saw the scene of a beach cove and heard significant lyrics that reminded me that I belong to God. The words rang out beautifully, “I am Yours and You are mine.” The beach scenery warmed my heart as well because when I converse with the Lord I always imagine us on a beach cove with cliffs hanging above us. It’s my safe space I created during the days I went through trauma therapy.
I immediately knew this song was put into my rotation by the Lord. I felt comforted by Him and loved, and the hopelessness and shame I was feeling fled. God saw the enemy coming against me in my sleep, but He had my time with Him in the morning planned to bring me comfort and healing. He was steps ahead of the enemy, guarding our time together and using His comfort to help me align with Him.
The Lord sees it all. He sees what the enemy is up to and faithfully counteracts those evil plans with His own.
