“In the time of trouble He shall hide me
... therefore will I offer ...
sacrifices of joy; I will sing.”
Psalm 27:5-6
5
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord. (Psalm 27:5‑6)
Were you up last night with a wife or mother’s responsibilities? Do you feel like one more time is just too many? I challenge you to kneel by your bedside tonight and ask the Lord Jesus for as much sleep as you need and then believe that He will give it to you. You will then have the full assurance that even though you feel as though you didn’t get enough sleep, you know deep down in your soul (if not your body) that you did, because you asked Him for it. Be careful to give your whole day to Him as well. He may give you opportunity to supplement your time of rest in the day — use those times wisely. Sometimes you may have to forfeit what you want to get done or “me” time in order to snatch a nap. Odd as it may seem, sometimes a nap is a work for the Lord and a sacrifice of a sweet-smelling savor. He gives His beloved rest (
Psa. 127:2
2
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. (Psalm 127:2)
) so that she can cheerfully make supper and quietly run the home. You, my dear wives and mothers, set the tone of your homes. Dip into your resources in Jesus Christ and make sure the tone in your home is cheerful. If you find your weariness, lack of sense of fulfillment, feelings of not being capable, or other frustrations are causing you to send wrong messages, then go somewhere alone and plead with the Lord to change your attitude. Just tell Him that all your own supply of power to set a cheerful tone is gone, and ask for some of His. Then come out and make yourself sing. Singing is a sure way to reset the tone of the home. I don’t care if you feel like it or not — SING! It’s a sacrifice of praise, and believe me it
will
be a sacrifice! He will accept your gift as such because He, and He alone, knows what it cost you.
