Soft music will not help. White wine will not help. Ambien, Excedrin PM, Melatonin or Valerian Root will not help. After an exhausting day with every reason to fall into a deep sleep, you may stare at the ceiling all night. You can eat well, exercise and go to bed early and even that cannot guarantee a restful sleep.
Psalm 127:2
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
Sleep is a gift from God. But we take sleep for granted. We expect it and feel entitled to a good night sleep. The kind of sleep God gives comes by no effort on our part. This kind of sleep brings contentment with what we have and who we are. This kind of sleep brings comfort in whatever situation we find ourselves. This kind of sleep is refreshing. God gives this kind of sleep to those He loves which enables us to start each day with Him, working for Him as we worship Him. You cannot get this kind of sleep anywhere else. The music is relaxing, the medicines can offer aid and exercise is important but look to God for the gift of sleep. Remember to thank Him for the gift.
