The annual spring severe weather forecasts and tornado warnings usually upset children, especially at bedtime, and even moreso if they must sleep upstairs alone. Children do not always understand the nature of the danger, and often do not distinguish between announcements that weather conditions are such that tornadoes could develop and actual severe weather forecasts. Have you evern turned to Psalms 4:8-. to read as bedtime Scripture on such occasions? The Psalmist writes: “In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for thou alone, O Lord, makest me dwell in safety.”
NAPPANEE ADVANCE NEWS
Can’t you just see the young shepherd on the hillside with his sheep? The sun has gone down and darkness has settled. Every flash of heat lightning, every strange sound or night odor, even the uneasy shifting of the sheep in their effort to get comfortable, increases the shepherd’s own discomJfort and fear on this his first night out alone with the sheep. The mind plays tricks on such occasions, and this is no exception as he recalls the frightening stories of nighttime marauders both human and animal that sometimes break the peace of night. But finally the young shepherd musters enough faith to lie down. Tired from his day’s work, he needs rest and sleep. And god rewards his faith, giving strength to his anxious and weary soul, so that relaxation and peace come over him. He may sleep lightly enough to hear the slightest disturbance and waken to protect the sheep, but at least he sleeps enough for release and renewal that brings refreshment for another day of work. As the lightning strikes all around and the steady roar of rumbling thunder pierces sleep, the fearsome child may not sleep soundly either. But words of faith and trust from the Bible can permit the child to sleep enough to find relaxation and refreshment for the morrow'. Perhaps you’ve discovered that counting sheep doesn’t help children much. (Does it adults?) And the words we speak the more sincere and intensly we strive to quiet the child, the more aroused he becomes. At times like these words from the Bible can do what our own cannot. God’s peace is beyond that which even parents can bring to their children. If we can instill in them confidence in his greatness and power and ability, and trust in his loving, tender care, often they can go off to sleep in peace. This doesn’t mean we shield them from knowledge of danger, or keep them from knowing of potential emergencies that isn’t fair either. Most of us would not, and we know that we cannot thus shield them. But we can bring them to trust in God for help and strength to meet whatever emergencies they may face.
