Sleep is Spiritual

...for He grants sleep to those He loves.
-- Psalm 127:2b (NIV)

Sometimes God cannot get at us until we are asleep.
-- Oswald Chambers

Dearest Loving Lord, just as a skilled surgeon cannot bring us healing until we are put to sleep so the problem can be addressed, You also, our Great Physician, come to us as we sleep to administer holy healing -- heart, mind, soul, and strength. So, especially as we receive from You the gift of sleep, search us during our seasons of spiritual slumber, our God, and make us whole. Restore and renew us according to Your wonderful will. In Jesus' name. Amen.

I know it's February, but as I think about sleep being a blessed, spiritual gift that God gives to His beloved ones, I can hear one Christmas Carol echoing from the heart strings of my being:

Sleep in Heavenly Peace.
Grateful

Arise & Shine!

Arise, my soul... for Your Lord is Risen!
Shine, be light... for Your Lord is Glorified!

The children's praise chorus shouts aloud:
Rise and shine. Give God the glory, glory!

Awake, you who sleep. Arise from the dead. And Christ will give you light.-- Ephesians 5:14 (NLT)

IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.
