But who can really know what is going to happen?"
(Ecclesiastes 10:14 LB).
The Bible makes it very clear that all the times and
seasons are in "the Father's hand . . . ... And Paul said
we have no need to be troubled by letters, dates, or mis-
directed prophecy:
It is not for you to know the times or the
seasons, which the Father hath put in his own
power.
(Acts 1:7 KJV)
Be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled
by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the
day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you
by any means.
(2 Thessalonians 2:2,3 KJv)
S. Go to Sleep
". . . so he giveth his beloved sleep" (Psalms 127:2
KJV).
God gives sleep as a gift to His children as surely as
He gives food and protection. It is as firm a promise as
any in the Book. The re-creating sleep God gives is a
crown He places only on the heads of His beloved, not of
strangers.
No power on earth can give you honest sleep. Artifi-
cial sleep from pills and capsules is false and transitory.
The giving of true sleep is the domain of God only. It is
His gift to believers.
Rising early and sitting up late to have more time to
fret and worry is the grossest kind of sin against God.
Trusters are good sleepers. Without moving a finger,
they employ God on their behalf because they are
wholly convinced He will do what He has promised.
While we sleep, God draws on our inner confidence to
create solutions to our needs.
