1. Pro 3:24 – “When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.”
- When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid:
- There are a few reasons that possessing wisdom causes us to not be afraid when we lie down.
- Wisdom teaches us to have faith in God which is the antidote to fear (Psa 56:3-4).
- Wisdom teaches us to be honest in our dealings (1Th 4:11-12) so that we don’t have a guilty conscience keeping us awake a night.
- Wisdom teaches us to keep our lives simple so that we are not stressed when we lie down to sleep (Ecc 5:12).
- Wisdom teaches us to stay away from dangerous places and people (Pro 1:10-19).
- Wisdom teaches us to live within our means so that we don’t have money fears keeping us up at night (Pro 21:20).
- When your life is lived according to God’s wisdom, you will look forward to going to bed and not rather lamenting “would God it were morning!” (Deut 28:67).
- yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
- Wisdom teaches us to work hard (Rom 12:11) which makes for sweet sleep (Ecc 5:12).
God gives his beloved sleep (Psa 127:2).
