Sleep Is A Gift From God

PSALM 127:2 NKJ 2 … He gives His beloved sleep.

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

PSALM 3:5 NKJ 5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.

PSALM 4:8 NKJ 8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

We can trust in God and sleep even when we face the storms of life, just as Jesus and Peter did in the following verses.

MARK 4:38 NKJ 38 But He was … asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”

ACTS 12:6 NKJ 6 And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers …

Jesus Approves Rest

MARK 6:31 NKJ 31 And He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

MATTHEW 11:28-29 NKJ 28 “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

While rest is clearly part of God’s will for us, we are also cautioned in Proverbs against sleeping too much. Balance is important. Different people may require different amounts of sleep to function at their best. You should seek God for wisdom in this area.

SAY THIS: God gives me sweet, sound sleep.

God Gave Us Dominion

GENESIS 1:26,28 NKJ 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” God made a decision when He created human beings. He chose to give us dominion on earth. God had dominion, and He chose to give it to mankind. Notice that God did not say, “Let him (Adam) have dominion.” God said, “Let them (both Adam and Eve – and their descendants) have dominion.” This is something important for us to understand. PSALM 115:16 NKJ 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men. Dominion is the right to make decisions and to ru...

Pride and Humility

PROVERBS 22:4 NKJ 4 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life. Humility is the opposite of pride. Humility does not think it is better than anyone else. “I am what I am by the grace of God.” 1 PETER 5:5 NKJ 5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” A humble person is one who follows God’s instructions, instead of leaning to their own understanding. Being a humble person does not mean being a loser. A humble person is one who has the proper relationship to God and grasps reality, which is: without God, we can do nothing. Humility will cause a person to remember their need to pray. A humble person is one who prefers to suffer wrong rather than do wrong. Pride will bring you low. Humility will cause God to exalt you. LUKE 14:11 NKJ 11 “For whoever exalts himself will be abased, and he who humbles hi...
