Speaker 1: four from the King James version. My son, let not

28

Speaker 1: them depart from thine eyes. Keep sound, wisdom and discretion.

29
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid. Yea,

30
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

31
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: Take a moment to pour out your adoration to God,

32
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: who hears you. Truly, my soul finds rest in you God,

33
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: for your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.

34
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds You or love is

35
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: better than life itself. I will sing to the Lord

36
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: as long as I live. I will praise my God

37
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: to my last breath. Wisdom grants sweet sleep. Wisdom is

38
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: applied knowledge, and applied knowledge of God's word brings blessings.

39
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: Many valuable life lessons are found within this chapter of Proverbs,

40
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: among them how to achieve better rest by living your

41
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: life with wisdom and reason, you can acquire the ability

42
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: to sleep peacefully and free of fear. King Solomon advised

43
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: living life in such a way as to be content

44
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: with your actions. So if you are smart about what

45
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: you do during the day, you will sleep well at

46
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: night knowing you did your best. However, constantly living life

47
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: that way is not easy. Sometimes emotions can cloud judgment

48
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: and suppress reason. If you are struggling with making wise

49
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: decisions during your day, this is your opportunity for divine intervention.

50
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: Take this time to reach out to God. Confess your

51
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: bad decisions to him. Now consider for a moment God's

52
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: wisdom in your life and thank him for it. Thank

53
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: God for the gift of his Holy Word, for sharing

54
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: of himself and his intelligence through scripture. Thank God that

55
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: his word is not in vain, that it accomplishes what

56
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: it sets out to do. Thank Him that his obedience
