3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Charles Spurgeon once said, “Sleep is the image of death. If God had not sustained us through the night, we would not wake in the morning.” Each new dawn is a testimony that God remained awake while we rested.
It is no ordinary peace that allows a man pursued by enemies, betrayed by his own son, and mocked by the masses to lie down and sleep. Yet David, while fleeing from Absalom’s revolt, did exactly that. Surrounded by rising opposition and abandoned by former allies, he slept, not from exhaustion, but from trust. Our key verse is brief, but its depth is immense. “I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.” This is the quiet victory of the righteous: not the absence of troubles, but the presence of God in the midst of them.
Many believers imagine that peace is the outcome of problem free days. But divine peace is not circumstantial. It is anchored in the character of God, not in the climate of our surroundings. David understood this. He did not wait for the conflict to cease before finding rest. He found rest while the conflict raged, because he trusted the One who never slumbers, whose voice must be obeyed by all storms of life.

So many, today, cannot sleep because their minds are prisoners of fear. They rehearse the threats of men, the pressure of deadlines, the betrayal of friends, or the uncertainty of the future. Yet Scripture speaks of another way, a better way – trusting the Lord.
Trouble does not nullify God’s care. To lie down in peace despite chaos is not denial but devotion. It is the choice to trust God’s watchfulness more than our own vigilance.
The believer’s safety does not lie in the strength of gates or the loyalty of allies but in the unchanging faithfulness of the Lord. Dear believer, the winds may howl, and the storm may gather. But if your trust is in the Lord, you may rest, confident that He who watches over Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
It takes absolute trust in God to sleep during a crisis situation.

2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
