ULTIMATE CARE DEVOTIONAL🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 2023🎁💦💦🕺💦💦💦💦💦🕺💦💦THEME: 👉Enjoying Peaceful Sleep”I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.TEXT: Psalms 4:8MESSAGE📕Sleep is a natural periodic state of rest for the mind and body, in which the eyes usually close and consciousness is completely or partially lost, so that there is a decrease in bodily movement and responsiveness to external influences.To relax or unwind is something that everyone needs to do. LEWIS HOWES once said, “Sleep might be the most important aspect of building a great business, and having a high-performing body.” “Sleep is the best meditation.” — Dalai Lama. And Bing Crosby said, “When I’m worried and cannot sleep I count my blessings instead of sheep.” Could sleep be a period of counting blessings?Sleep scientists have explored these changes in depth, and their definition of sleep is tied to characteristic patterns of brain waves and other physiological functions. Not the passive state many people once considered it to be, sleep is now known to be a highly active process during which the day’s events are processed and energy is restored.“The way to a more productive, more inspired, more joyful life is getting enough sleep”, Arianna Huffington, The Sleep Revolution once said. “If you get tired learn to rest, not to quit” —this is the word of Banksy.Natural sleep has been created by GOD to give rest to the human body and rejuvenate it. Good natural sleep is given to the children of God so that they can wake up with renewed energy and a refreshed body to carry out the will/purpose of God for the day. If you are denied a good natural sleep, you are likely to have a rough day and your body, especially your brain, will not give you the accurate results that it usually gives you. Good natural sleep is attained in an atmosphere of good security. The Psalmist enjoyed good natural sleep because the LORD provided him with a secure atmosphere for a good sleep. Children of God should make time for themselves to have good sleep: they should not be afraid whatsoever, because GOD is with them and ready to provide them with that atmosphere of security. Sleep is one of the blessings of God for His beloved ones. Psalm 127: 1-2; “Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep”. Sleep is a sure blessing from God.Dearly beloved, do well to enjoy good natural sleep. Count on the Lord and depend on Him for a sound sleep. Hallelujah!PRAYERS♨️Heavenly Father, I thank you for your love and goodness, blessed be your name over my life and family in Jesus mighty name, Amen.
