Sweet Dreams!

“when you lie down, you will not be afraid;
    when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.”

Proverbs 3:24

Jesus did not harbor toxic thoughts.

I think He probably slept well at night.

He did not lie awake worrying about what the disciples thought of Him and He surely did not lose sleep over the Pharisees opinion of His ministry.

He had just One that He lived to please and please Him He did.

Of course, that was His Father.

I know that it was recorded that Jesus spoke “…it is finished…” on the cross.

I sometimes wonder though, if those weren’t His last words at the end of a long day before falling asleep.

How peaceful might your sleep be if, as you lay your head on your pillow each night, you could declare: “It is finished” with the full understanding that you had accomplished well all the Father had for you to do today?

I suspect I would sleep soundly (and you would too!).

Sometimes we lie awake at night battling thoughts of all

we “coulda-shoulda-woulda” done differently.

If that’s you – try this instead – deal with those issues with the Lord and then, instead of a sleeping pill take one – let’s call it – a sleeping scripture.

   Let the last thoughts of your day before dozing off be of the Lord and His Word.

Sweet dreams indeed.
