The Solution

So what happens is that just recently, I wanted to test something that I read in the bible. 

Before we get into it, let’s have our moment of silence. 

At this time, I would like all of us to take a moment of silence and pray to God to help us to work hard each and every day. Take a minimum of 5 minutes and pray for this. 

Now back to the show

Praise the Lord, I’ve found what I need in order to solve a problem.

So actually, I’ve been praying to God to help me with this problem for a long time now. 

It’s my sleeping problem. 

I actually have had trouble sleeping in the past. 

I’m not insomniac.

And I usually do get really good sleep.

But the problem is that I sleep late. 

I fall asleep at really bad times. 

And on extremely rare occasions, I just don’t get any sleep. 

I’m talking about like once in like a blue moon or something. 

So it’s nothing too bad to be concerned about, but the problem is that I need to wake up earlier to do jobs. 

I have so many jobs that I could do and I would do them if I could just wake up earlier. 

And when I say earlier, I mean like 6 or 4 in the morning. 

And so, I’m here and I have found the solution to my problem and it was in the bible. 

Let me give you guys a few verses about sleep from the bible.

Verse 1 Ecclesiastes 5:12

“The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much, but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

Verse 2 Psalm 4:8

“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep; for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.”

Third Verses Proverbs 3:21-24

“My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: Keep sound wisdom and discretion: So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.”

So what happens is that Ecclesiastes and Proverbs are both part of the Wisdom books in the bible. 

And I think that the reason why God has the verses that I used in the wisdom books is because God knows that sleep is almost tortuous if we do not get it. 

It’s a struggle not being able to sleep. 

And God knows that we need it not only to live, but to honor him as well. 

And I will be honest, that I have kept 2 of these verses in my heart, but not one of them. 

And the one that I’m having trouble keeping is the labouring man one in Ecclesiastes. 

I will admit that sometimes I’m a little lazy, more often than not. 

And I can remember why my sleep was so great in high school, it’s because I was always working in music. 

The Lord was strengthening my hands really hard to work in music. 

So how do I know FOR SURE, that that’s what I needed. 

So I did a test on myself just recently. 

I wanted to see if all I really needed to do was work really hard. 

So one day, just recently, I worked SOOO hard on my blog. 

I think I spent like 6 hours just writing on this blog.

And I said, If my Lord is perfect, then when I work really hard, he will allow me to sleep. 

And sure enough, that night, I think I fell asleep at 8 and woke up at 4 in the morning. 

And I was ENERGETIC, and I was not sluggish, and I kept to the fact that the Lord was the one who was helping me. 

And so I said, okay, maybe I was just a little tired and fell asleep fine. 

And so what I did was I did NO work for the next few days. And would you believe that I could not sleep. 

It was miserable. 

And then just yesterday was the day where I worked really hard on physical training. 

Like as part of my job, I need to be physically fit. 

And so, I ran and walked 7.2 miles just yesterday. And I fell asleep fine. I think I woke up at 8 but that’s because I didn’t work as hard on my blog yesterday.

And I’m not going to test anymore because I’ll be honest, it was miserable those days where I didn’t work, I was all strung out and exhausted. 

So right now, I’m over here and I’m just really trying to work hard at physical training and blogging so that I can come out on top. 

I really need to wake up earlier and I’m going to hope on my God to help me.
