Sleep is a daily reminder from God that we are not God. Once a day God sends us to bed like patients with a sickness. The sickness is a chronic tendency to think we are in control and that our work is indispensable. To cure us of this disease God turns us into helpless sacks of sand once a day.
John PiperFaith is born and sustained by the Word of God, and out of faith grows the flower of joy.
John PiperThis is God's universal purpose for all Christian suffering: more contentment in God and less satisfaction in the world.
