A thought on Halloween...

While many celebrate symbols of death tonight, may we remember the brevity of this life and the certainty of the life to come.

"What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes." ~James 4:14

"And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment" ~Hebrews 9:27

"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live." ~John 11:25

A few thoughts on sleep.

If a person was to live to the age of 70 and sleep an average of 7 hours/day, he would have spent OVER 20 YEARS of his life ASLEEP!

Now for a few thoughts about sleep

God can continue to accomplish His work even while all of humanity sleeps.
See Genesis 1:21 & Matthew 26

The most powerful of men is at the mercy of others while asleep.
See Judges 16:19

We can sleep in peace because of our God
See Psalms 4:8

We do not worry about the LORD our God being asleep
See 1st Kings 18:27 & Psalms 121:4

May our need for sleep serve as a daily reminder of God's greatness, and keep us always humble before Him!
