Are you having a hard time sleeping at night?
Aches and pains?
Bags under the eyes?
Moodiness?
Has your get up and go, got up and gone?
Have I got a deal for you!
Sounds like an infomercial, doesn't it?
There certainly are any number of ailments that inhibit sleep. And maybe you should check into that. Or maybe you need a new mattress or pillow.
But the Bible suggests another possibility:
"Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your flesh
And refreshment to your bones."
(Proverbs 3:7-8)
Your poor sleeping habits is because you are involved in sin.
Some things are obvious:
Maybe you're staying up late to watch porn after everyone else has gone to bed.
Maybe you've been deceitful in your business practices and are worrying.
Maybe you've had a fight with your spouse.
Maybe you're fighting with God about a step of faith.
Maybe you're abusing your body with overeating, or drugs.
Fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
Obey and turn away.
Confess your sins to God and to others.
Get help in the battle against temptation.
One side benefit might be a good night's sleep!
