Sleep

There are verses in God's Word that deal with rest. God made our bodies to need sleep. When He created the world He made the day and the night. He made the sun to rule the day and the moon to rule the night.

Man made beds and some of them are so comfortable! You know how it is when you are tired and you lay down on your bed and you are able to relax and rest. How you rest physically, you should also learn to rest spiritually in the Lord. He can restore your soul just like sleep restores and rejuvenates your body.

Psalm 23:3

"He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake."

Psalm 4:8

"I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety."

Psalm 116:7

"Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee."

As we live one day at a time we need to be sure there is a balance in our lives. We can work and play but we also need to rest. We need to be sure that we also take the time to rest in the Lord and be in His Word. 

I love this old Irish lullaby's tune: All Through the Night

"Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee 

All through the night 

Guardian angels God will send thee 

All through the night 

Soft the drowsy hours are creeping 

Hill and dale in slumber sleeping 

I my loving vigil keeping 

All through the night 

While the moon her watch is keeping 

All through the night 

While the weary world is sleeping 

All through the night 

O'er thy spirit gently stealing 

Visions of delight revealing 

Breathes a pure and holy feeling 

All through the night "

Good night, Sleep Tight, Don't let the bed bugs bite!

 If they do, take a shoe and beat them til they're black and blue!
