When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
A picture of the peace that wisdom brings at bedtime: lying down without fear.
KJV21My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: 22So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. 23Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. 24When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. 25Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. 26For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. 27Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
Short sayings of practical wisdom for everyday life, many attributed to Solomon.
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Jesus slept through the storm, and when they woke Him, He spoke peace to the wind and the sea.
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
Even the darkness is not dark to God. Where you feel most hidden, He still sees you.
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
You are allowed to hand your worries over. God cares about you personally.
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
A promise to lean on, not a test to pass: God Himself keeps in peace the one who leans on Him.
