I once heard a conversation where some folks were discussing the fact that advances in science and medicine has led to medication that aids and facilitates sleep. Medication that are classified as anti-insomnia, that is, medicines that help people fall asleep or stay asleep or have a good sleep.
But the interesting and most profound part of the conversation came when one of the folks said that in all the genuine and sincere advances plus hype of medical science, it has till date failed to find a cure for death. That is, a medicine that will revive or wake up a dead person.
In that moment my eyes were opened afresh to the Awesomeness, Majesty, Supremacy and Sovereignty of The Almighty God. And these scriptures popped-up instantly in my heart.
"...For so He gives His beloved sleep."- Psalm 127:2b (NKJV)
"I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me."- Psalm 3:5 (NIV)
"O LORD, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot."-Psalm 16:5 (NKJV)
"The LORD is your keeper;"-Psalm 121:5 (NKJV)
I say of the Lord- You are my Sustainer, Your are my Maintainer, You are my Keeper.
Bless God for advances in medical science and other amazing technological advances in our world. But let them never be mistaken as superior or greater or even regarded as a substitute to the authority, power, majesty of the Most High God- The King, Ruler, Judge, Possessor and Lord of the heavens and earth.
Yes Lord. Bless your Holy Name. You are my sustainer. The reason I live.
