September 20, 2013 “Get Some Sleep… ZZzzzzz” “When you lie down, you will not be afraid; yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet!” (Proverbs 3:24 NKJV) Today, many of you are worried about many things in the world and tonight some will be pacing the floor for most of the night. There was a story told about a little old lady who lived in England during World War II and during the war people would have to come out of their homes when the air-raid alarms would go off and report at a designated safe zone for protection from the bombs. On one particular night after an air- raid, everyone noticed the old lady was not present at the location. Afterwards, they went to her house, looked through the window and saw her in bed. They knocked on the door and when she came they asked, “Why didn’t you come to the bomb shelter during the air-raid?” She had been in a very deep and peaceful sleep so she yawned and wiped the sleep from her eyes and answered, “Before I went to bed, I was reading in the Bible and in Psalms 121:4 it said, “…He who watches over Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps…” They asked, “What does that have to do with anything?” She replied, “Well… I thought to myself, if God is going to stay awake all night… then I’ll just get some sleep!” Many of you have allowed various situations in your family life, marriages rifts, workplace pressures, and church life issues keep you up at night. You have been under stress and restless about circumstances that are beyond your control. RELAX! God is in control and He’s got your back! So take a hot bath, release all the cares of your day, turn down the bed-covers, turn off all electronic devices, say your prayers and…get some sleep! Michael Gordon
