Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles Tags: Bible Lessons on God's WordSleep researchers tell us that we spend approximately 30 percent of our lives sleeping — or at least trying to sleep. Today there are more than 300 sleep disorder clinics in the United States. There are also 90 million Americans who snore, and they spend about $200 million a year on anti-snoring remedies.
Folks, think of it! Nearly a third of our entire lives sleeping! Yet, how much do we plan and prepare spiritually for those important hours of sleep?
For several years, a Christian friend of mine has followed a simple regimen. Every night, just before turning out the light, he reads a passage from the Bible or meditates on a verse he has memorized (Psalm 1:1-2 NKJV; Psalm 119:11 NKJV).
Before he goes to sleep, he wants the last word he thinks about to be from God — not the evening news or the weather — not the late-night talk-show host or the celebrity guest — but a final word from the Lord.
Is it possible that the words of Isaiah 26:3 NKJV could apply to our subconscious minds as well as our conscious minds? Wouldn’t “perfect peace” for the person “whose mind is stayed on” the Lord make for a good night’s sleep?
