Slumberland

Some people are kept awake at night because of a crisis. A soured relationship. A rebellious teenage son, a straying spouse or a failing business. 

Sometimes events in our lives can trigger fear and anxiety. Some become depress.

The word of God declares in Psalms 4:8 “I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.” 

God alone sustains us with His mighty hand. He neither slumbers nor sleeps. He watches our going out and our coming in. 

Every time we lay our heads to rest, we are reminded that our maker gives us the ability to sleep. He carries our burdens. He hears our heart-cries. He refreshes and energizes us to face the next day. 

The storms and challenges of life will not rob us of our sleep. God is in complete control.

As we unload our problems, He carries our problems and burdens. God blesses us and we slumber away in deep sleep. 

For our God is more than able to help us. He is our helper. He is our deliverer. God will make a way where there seems to be no way.
