How do you sleep at night? (…please don’t tell me, “with my
eyes closed!”)
Do you sleep Peacefully?
…Restlessly?
In Psalm 4, David concludes his thoughts by saying: “I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you
alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.” (v.8)
He sleeps in peace because he has learnt to place his trust
in God and he is convinced that the Lord helps him dwell in places of safety. I
am convinced that David only gets to this place in his life, because he has
endured nights of restlessness and insomnia. We often recognise the gift of ‘peaceful
sleep’ after months of no sleep.
Perhaps this is why he says in verse 4, “In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your
hearts and be silent.” David spent too many nights dwelling on anger and
bitterness, so now sleep is a tremendous gift to him.
So, tell me again, “how are you sleeping?”
Be at peace.
