Sleep

Proverbs 6:9-11 How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon
you like a robber, and want like an armed man.

Proverbs 20:13 Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes and you will have plenty of bread.

I Corinthians 15:51 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,...

Perhaps a bit out of context.

What if I'm just being prepared for "the day"? What if I get to be one of the ones who won't sleep? How cool would that be? Being wide awake at the coming of Christ! Sleep or no sleep, thanks be to God who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! Knowing this we can rest in peace.
