Refreshing Sleep
He gives His beloved sleep.
~ Psalm 127:2
"Ours is not a life of anxiety but of happy faith. Our Father will supply the wants of His children, and He knows what we need before we ask Him. If we have learned to rely upon Him then we shall not lie awake with fear gnawing at us; but we shall leave our care with the Lord, and He will give us refreshing sleep.
To be the Lord's beloved is the highest possible honor. He who has it may feel that ambition itself could desire no more, and therefore every selfish wish may fall asleep. What more is there than the God's love? Rest then, for you have all things.
Jesus is our peace, our rest, our all. On His bosom we sleep in peace, both in life and in death.
"Sprinkled afresh with pardoning blood,
I lay me down to rest
As in the embraces of my God,
Or on my Savior's breast."
(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Lord, thank You for giving Your children rest and peace. Thank You for giving us sleep in life, and in sleep in death. Thank You for watching over us while we are awake and when we are asleep. In Jesus' Name, Amen!
