#proverbs 3:24

“In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety.” —Psalm 4:8 (NASB)

“When you lie down, you will not be afraid; When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.” —Proverbs 3:24 (NASB)

by Charles Spurgeon

"When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet." - Proverbs 3:24

Is the reader likely to be confined for a while to the bed by sickness! Let him go upstairs without distress with this promise upon his heart "When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid."

When we go to bed at night, let this word smooth our pillow. We cannot guard ourselves in sleep, but the LORD will keep us through the night. Those who lie down under the protection of the LORD are as secure as kings and queens in their palaces, and a great deal more so. If with our lying down there is a laying down of all cares and ambitions, we shall get refreshment out of our beds such as the anxious and covetous never find in theirs. Ill dreams shall be banished, or even if they come, we shall wipe out the impression of them, knowing that they are only dreams.

Sleep is important, so much that God speaks about it. In the sacred scriptures, God's word emphasizes the significance of restful sleep at night as a gift and necessity for overall well-being. It is written that "In peace, I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety" (Psalm 4:8). This divine promise reminds us of the restorative power of sleep and the divine protection we receive while we rest. As we abide in His presence and surrender our worries and anxieties, we can find comfort and peace in knowing that God watches over us as we sleep. Therefore, let us trust in His provision and find solace in the rest that He graciously grants us each night.
