Two nights ago I slept badly. Anguish about people I care about who are drifting off into oblivion spiritually. I wrote of this. Caring too much hurts.
Last night, after dealing with it all, I slept wonderfully. I would say I slept like a baby, except a baby wakes up every two hours and cries. I've done that too.
No, last night I slept like Proverbs 3:24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
And I know that while I sleep God is in his heaven's working things out despite my best efforts to screw it up. Psalm 127:2. It is vain for you to rise up early, To retire late, To eat the bread of painful labors; For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.
So, I'm thankful, as older men often are, for a good night's sleep. And, I know to whom I am thankful.
