When a motion sensor detects a threat, the "Quantum Sleeper" automatically folds up around its occupant. Inside the bulletproof canopy, an alarm awakens the protected sleeper, who can spray tear gas on the intruder—or watch a movie on the DVD player while waiting out a storm. Even so, I suspect that not even an armored bed can guarantee a good night's sleep untouched by anxiety or fear. Psalm 4:4-5 has a three-part recipe for finding peace in a troubled world: When you're angry, don't express it by disobeying God. When you lie down at night, do it in heart-searching silence. Live sacrificially, putting your trust in the Lord. An old hymn affirms this biblical instruction: Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; David concluded his psalm, "I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety" (v.8). And that is without a doubt the safest rest we'll ever have. —David McCasland
Leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, Leaning on the everlasting arms. —Hoffman He rests well who rests in Jesus.
