"A Wonderful Treasury for the People of God Whose Treasure Is In Heaven - Devotional and Practical Observations On Select Passages of Scripture for Every Day of The Year!"
"Two easy ways to follow the Faith's Checkbook Devotions to completion: Follow the small calendar dates on each page, or follow the other set of numerals ("001" to "366") inserted below calendar date. On the latter method you can start at any date and follow numerically to the end."
"When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet." (Proverbs 3:24)
Is the reader likely to be confined for a while to the bed by sickness! Let him go upstairs without distress with this promise upon his heart "When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid."
When we go to bed at night, let this word smooth our pillow. We cannot guard ourselves in
sleep, but the Lord will keep us through the night. Those who lie down under the protection of the Lord are as secure as kings and queens in their palaces, and a great deal more so. If with our lying down there is a laying down of all cares and ambitions, we shall get refreshment out of our beds such as the anxious and covetous never find in theirs. Ill dreams shall be banished, or even if they come, we shall wipe out the impression of them, knowing that they are only dreams.
If we sleep thus we shall do well. How sweetly Peter slept when even the angel's light did
not wake him, and he needed a hard jog in the side to wake him up. And yet he was sentenced to die on the morrow. Thus have martyrs slept before their burning. "So he giveth his beloved
sleep." To have sweet sleep we must have sweet lives, sweet tempers, sweet meditations, and
sweet love.
