"When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet," Proverbs 3:24.
Solid path. Safe steps ahead. No stumbling feet. Secure passage. No fear in sudden terror. Confidence when all around gives way. And sweet sleep at night. Wow - now that's a positive picture of assurance! (No fear in terror -- how safer can it feel?) And how to get to that place? We are lifted to it by Jehovah God himself when we hold on to wisdom. That's what it says. But what wisdom, exactly? The Wisdom of God's Word. God's Wisdom Who is Christ. We are lifted to that sure place by trusting the Christ of God. Jesus: crucified, buried, and made alive for ever more. No terrors left.
Committed to God's wisdom, we are lifted by him to that fearless place. And together, with a brother or sister today, we give thanks. And will sleep tonight. Sweet.
