'If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.' (Proverbs 3:24)
I can think of a number of people who are going to agree with this!
Isn't it one of the nicest things ever to collapse into your bed after a tiring or stressful day, to close your eyes and (hopefully) wake up refreshed the next morning?
A good night's rest is another of the many things we take for granted until we don't have it. I went through a stage in my life when each night was a struggle to switch my mind off, as it were, and fall asleep. But God is good and that stage seems to have passed.
But what about insomniacs? People working night shifts? Those too stressed or too ill to sleep?
Sleep is a reminder we are dependent on God. We're not powerful. Our bodies can't take endless activity.
So next time your head touches the pillow, be thankful for the gift of sleep.
