Narrative Lectionary Key Verse for Today
“He who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.”
NL Daily Devotion for Wednesday, March 25, 2020
by Daniel D. Maurer, Clergy Stuff
Sometimes my wife wonders if I’m the reincarnation of a cat. I love to sleep. She hates it. No . . . she doesn’t hate me—she hates to sleep. She misses all the things she could be doing in life.
I like to do things too, while I’m awake.
There’s something about sleep that makes it so blissful and relaxing. I’m a real active dreamer, too, and I remember most of my dreams when I wake. My wife’s the opposite—she doesn’t remember many of her dreams at all.
Researchers are finding more and more that sleep is not just blissful and refreshing. Sleep is an indispensable necessity for human beings to thrive while they’re awake. Sleep is even more important for us than food!
But, it is comforting to know that, while asleep or awake, God is there to remember us, and to be for us, forever.
What do you think, generally, about sleep? Are you happy that God stays awake for you? How much sleep to you get every night?
