Sleep

I didn’t sleep well last night. It seemed like I couldn’t slow my internal motor down. So today I am not operating at full capacity. I am retired so this doesn’t make much difference beyond how I feel.

The idea that we require certain amounts of sleep is interesting. God gave us the ability to shut down for a number of hours because he knew that we would have to recharge our batteries daily. Most days we are able to slow down enough to go into temporary hibernation.

God created us this way for our benefit. He didn’t miss any detail in any part of creation. And now he is watching us and providing our needs and protecting us from evil. Psalm 139:3 says, ” You scrutinize my path and my lying down, and are intimately acquainted with all my ways.”
