Psalm 4:8 (TLB) I will lie down in peace and sleep, for though I am alone, O Lord, you will keep me safe.
How in the world is a person to lie down and rest when there is so much evil outside that lurks around us? The answer is found in God’s power and protection. In a very real sense God places His children under a dome of safety and are protected by His holy angels during rest. While we are unconscious our God is not. He sees all the evils around us, and has all power to hold them at bay. King David knew that Almighty God was watching over him, while he slept on his couch, and the same holds true for us today. The God of all creation never sleeps nor slumbers, but always keeps guard over His children…and that will never change.
