I lay down and slept;There's a very simple truth in this, that we overlook frequently. First, there's the fact that we are able to sleep. We don't simply go go go go go go, until we burn out and drop dead. If we did that as babies, especially, we wouldn't last long enough to figure out how to control our limbs, much less anything else. God has given us the possibility of rest, and we should avail ourselves of it when needed (and even wanted, occasionally).
I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.
Second, God allows us to wake again. He could call any of us home at any time. Any one of us could die in his sleep any night, with no warning. But He doesn't do that. Instead, he allows us to wake for a new day, to do His work. I know I frequently don't think about what His work might be, and that's to my shame.
