Passage:
“If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.”
Proverbs 3:24 ESV
http://bible.com/59/pro.3.24.esv
Paraphrase:
When you lie down there won’t be any reason to fear; your sleep will be full of rest when its time to go to bed.
Premise:
God is watching over us even when we are not aware of it. He is constantly taking care of things behind the scenes and never sleeps when we are asleep. There’s no need to worry because God has everything under control. Get some good rest at night knowing that He is wide awake and aware of even every dream you have throughout the night.
Promise:
God is watching over me with tender care.
Principle:
God is aware of everything that is happening in my life.
Even when I’m asleep, God is watching over me.
Ponder:
Have you ever lost sleep from worry?
Is there anything that you feelnis out of control in your life right now?
How does knowing God is in control affect you? Do you believe that? Do you live like that?
Practice:
Give everything to God and sleep well.
When worry begins to creep in, pray and ask God to help me trust Him.
Live as though God is in complete control.
Prayer:
Dear God, I am grateful that you never sleep and you are always aware of me and everything that concerns me. Thank you for giving me sleep each night!
