                                               Refreshing Sleep

When you lie down, you will not be afraid; yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.
                                                      ~ Proverbs 3:24

  "When we go to bed at night, let this word smooth our pillow. We cannot guard ourselves in sleep, but the Lord will keep us through the night. If, with our lying down, there is a laying down of all cares and ambitions, we shall get refreshment out of our beds such as the anxious and covetous never find in theirs. III dreams shall be banished, or even if them, knowing that they are only dreams.
  If we sleep thus we shall do well. How sweetly Peter slept when even the angel's light did not wake him, and he needed a hard jog in the side to wake him up. And yet he was sentenced to die on the morrow. "He gives His beloved sleep."
  To have sweet sleep we must have sweet lives, sweet tempers, sweet meditations, and sweet love."
(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
