A Good Night's Sleep

Psalm 3:5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
 
One of the blessings for Christians is a good night’s sleep. Sleep rests and refreshes the body. Some folks say we need eight to ten hours of sleep every night. They say many diseases, depression and emotional disorders are caused by sleep deprivation. You must admit that in today’s society, sleep takes a back seat in our life. Most people stay up at night watching T. V. and don’t go to sleep when they should.
 
This verse also confirms the Christian’s confidence and faith in the LORD. It is truly a sign of peace, confidence, and assurance when we can lie down to sleep and rest in our LORD. We know when we awake that we will be in the presence of Jesus, or, we will have another day on earth to serve and live for GOD.
 
This brings me to the point, of whom or what, is sustaining you? Are you sustained by alcohol, drugs, other people, or, the Devil himself?  All of these will fail you.
 
Its only when we are sustained by the LORD, we can have rest. Did you have a good night’s sleep last night? 
 
God Bless;
