How To Have A Better Sleepless Night

 Day 10

 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.

Psalm 16:7

 Have you ever had trouble falling asleep? Have you ever had a sleepless night, but for no apparent reason?

 I tossed and turned in my bed last night,trying in vain to fall asleep. Of course it did not help that I had three large glasses of caffeinated soda before retiring to bed!
Yet as I lay there, a little grumpy that I had difficulty getting much-needed beauty sleep, I remember Psalm 16:7. I remembered that a good remedy for a sleepless night is not necessarily a darker room, or a fan to help drown out white noise, or setting the thermostat a little lower. A good remedy is to talk and listen to God. 

If your mind is restless, why not let it find rest by meditating on who God is? Pray, or read a couple chapter from your Bible or devotional book. By doing so you can redeem a sleepless night for the glory of God and your good.

Why Christians Should Invest Their Money

“Investing”. The word probably conjures up several different images. A greedy banker. Dollar signs. A small business that your uncle suggests you “invest” in. But what exactly is investing? “Investing is the act of committing money or capital to an endeavor (a business, project, real estate, etc.) with the expectation of obtaining an additional income or profit.” -Investopedia.com Of course, probably the most common form of investing is through the purchase of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. The Motley Fool writes, “Over the past 70 years, the S&P 500 advanced 1,100-fold. That's enough to turn a single, modest $1,000 investment into more than a million dollars. It's extra meaningful when you consider that this massive gain happened despite many double-digit market crashes, recessions, and even the Great Depression. The lesson is that over the long haul, the stock market tends to rise -- just not in a straight line” (January 2016). One...
