"When I lie down I think, 'How long before I get up?' The night drags on, and I toss and turn until dawn." (Job 7:4, NIV)
This is a story of the anxious. Yet there is peace when, "the night drags on...." The Bible states it quite clearly: "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace...."
Our Lord Jesus is not far away issuing out peace. Jesus lives right inside each of His Followers, He Himself being to each Believer that very peace which delivers from, "....toss and turn until dawn."
Suggestion: If you suffer from what our text describes, try reading from the Bible at bedtime.
Father, in Jesus' Name, thank You for such grace. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
