Post something that you have read in the last two or three weeks that has been meaningful to you. It doesn't have to be long or detailed, but take care to explain why this particular reading stuck out to you. If it's not from the Bible, maybe give us the text of whatever it is.
Proverbs 3 21-24. The other night I had a very sleepless night, i was just consumed with worry about this that and the other, it was only a couple of hours and the next morning i completly forgot about it and had a great day, but because that was fresh on my mind when i read "When you lie down your sleep will be sweet" i was struck becuase my sleep wasnt sweet. Just before this Solomon says that the key to this sweet sleep is to "Preserve sound judgement and disornment and do not let them out of your sight" I still dont know what this means for me but i know there is something there, and its had me thinkin bout it recently.
ReplyDeleteI think it's important to note the context of that passage in the bigger picture. For instance, this particular proverb concerns the blessings of those individuals who find wisdom. It's cool that you've connected something in your life to something you read. In my opinion, a wise man is one who is aligned with God and knows God. Because of this, a wise man knows that the Lord is there watching over him and sheltering him, which would certainly lead to more comfortable sleep! Just something to think about.
