Deeper Life #244

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

—Proverbs 3:24

NO SPIRITUALIST MEDIUM, NO FORTUNE teller, no mes-merist, or practitioner of the occult can have any effect over the soul of a Christian; because the marvelous mighty power of the Spirit of God within, and the garrison of God’s angels without, strike terror into the Devil. We are totally unconscious of anything which attempts to merge into the fringe of our consciousness by such things as spiritualism and theosophies.

Reader, as you retire to rest tonight, give your soul and God a time together; meditate on these things and commit with a conscious peace your life to God during the hours of sleep. Deep and profound alterations will occur in your spirit, soul, and body by the creative hand of our God. May God write over your heart and life tonight, “So he giveth his beloved sleep.”

Sleep is God’s celestial nurse that croons the consciousness away and deals with the unconscious life of the soul in places where only God and His angels have charge.

Prayer Thought: Minister to my inner spiritual needs tonight, Lord, and may Your peace invade my heart and soul.
