Enjoy God-Given Sleep
“Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7 WEB)
Our body is very similar to the ground.
Ground must be left to rest for a while in order to maintain its fertility. If you keep overworking it by planting and planting new batches of crops without stopping, the ground will not bear much fruit.
Your body which is made from the dust of the ground needs sufficient rest.
Sometimes you have no choice but to sleep less due to finishing up some work, but when you have nothing important to do, make sure to sleep earlier.
Doing more work does not guarantee better results. Good results come from God’s favor in a situation.
“Unless Yahweh builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his loved ones.” (Psalms 127:1-2 WEB)
Cast your cares to the Lord before you sleep each night, and pray for excellent quality of sleep so that you will wake up refreshed and energetic.
Since Jesus does not sleep nor slumber, He will take the night shift for you.
These things I am saying may seem like common sense, but there is the danger of constantly sacrificing sleep to try and get more things done.
Enjoy your God-given rest!
