We read Psalm 127 in today's Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan. Verses 1-2:
1 Except the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain. 2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of [anxious] toil—for He gives [blessings] to His beloved in sleep.
I speak verse 2 over my life and my sleep every night! We NEED God's Wisdom for every situation in our lives. We need HIS Wisdom for every decision we will ever make! When we realize that all of our efforts to succeed WITHOUT God and His Wisdom will be ultimate failures, we will count on verse 2! We will cast ALL care on HIM because HE will give us the necessary Wisdom, even as we sleep! He may simply implant the knowledge in our inner man as we sleep and we will have that knowledge available when we wake up. He may also give what we need to us in a dream! There are many WAYS that God can and will do fulfill this promise when WE are trusting HIM for it! AMEN! The other part of this that I love is found in the KJV Bible!
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he gives his beloved sleep
HE gives ME (I AM His BELOVED! And so are YOU!) SLEEP! We NEED sleep in order to have healthy bodies with healthy immune systems. We also NEED sleep to function in every area of our lives with Wisdom, understanding, love, peace and joy! GOD made us this way! SO, it IS His will to grant us sweet, energizing, recovering and recuperating SLEEP! AMEN! Begin to believe Him for YOUR sleep every night! You will most definitely notice the difference!

Shalom in Him!
