| Safety Bed |
| Did you sleep well last night? |
| I recently read of a man who has created a safety bed, which he claims will provide protection against hurricanes, tornados, thieves, kidnappers, and terrorists. The inventor’s website calls it, “The safest rest you’ve ever had.” |
| 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. Even so, I suspect that not even an armored bed can guarantee a good night’s sleep untouched by anxiety or fear. |
| It is only when we have full confidence in the Lord, and a good conscience before God and our fellow man that we can truly lie down at night and rest in peace. King David said: “I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for Thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety” (Psalm 4:8). This is without a doubt the safest rest we’ll ever have! |
| David’s son, Solomon, made this observation: “When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet” (Proverbs 2:24). |
