Psalm 127:2
I have been finishing up the Psalms over the last week. I came across this verse and it stopped me in my tracks. I think of all the people who have trouble sleeping because of fear, worry or thinking too much. Some of us work so hard that we end up consumed by work. We think about it too much, we let all of our emotions be affected by it and it affects everything we do and are. I think some of us are hiding in our work and some of us have let our work overtake us. Some of us can't sleep because we are scared to death. Scared of the dark, scared of our past, scared of the future. Some of us don't sleep because we are trying to do God's job instead of trusting Him to do it.
As I read this verse it makes me wonder if our lack of sleep has more to do with our choices in faith than anything else. God has promised to give sleep to those He loves and He loves YOU! That may mean, if you are not sleeping well, you can fix that by seeing what is out of alignment in your soul and not just your neck or bed.
I hope you can honesty say this next verse sometime this week:
But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
Psalm 131:2

I think that is sooo right so many times in life we focus on the things we can not control. I hope after reading this that I can get a better nights sleep knowing that God will give me what I need in my life. I will go back and read this verse.
