The quality of our sleep affects every area of our lives. When it is disrupted by anxiety, stolen by insomnia, or haunted by nightmares, each facet of our days and nights feels it. God created us to thrive through restful sleep. This is why, in Genesis chapter two, we observe God, after having worked for six days, resting on the seventh. Humanity, on the other hand, began with rest. While God planted purpose in the hearts of mankind by assigning us meaningful jobs, we ultimately began our history with rest on the seventh day, before setting to work. Sound sleep serves as a foundation for our lives.

All throughout the Bible, we find this theme of rest as a gift — something God has bestowed to us to help us flourish. When our sleep suffers, we find it difficult to grasp our sense of purpose. We lose focus and motivation. Perhaps this is why God has gifted us with both His Word and music. This is also why lullaby music from Scripture Lullabies is not only for children, but all ages. His powerful promises delivered through peaceful melodies bring us deep sleep.

 

Lullaby Music Infused With God’s Promises

 

The word “lull” means “to put to sleep or rest by soothing means.” God’s truth holds this power to soothe us into a restful sleep, as we find in Psalm 4:8, “In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.” This is not a false sense of security or a dulling of the senses. Instead, His truth shatters the darkness, exposing every lie. His promises overpower every fearful thought and anxious moment. His powerful peace is carried by the soothing melodies of lullaby music by Scripture Lullabies to calm our hearts, quiet our minds, and deliver us into sound sleep. This depth of rest and reservoir of peace is His gift to us, as Psalm 127:2 says, “It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for He gives to His beloved sleep.”

At times it takes great effort and intentionality to take hold of this gift. Through lullaby music carrying the truth of God’s Word, we can strive toward the deep rest Christ offers us. We can discover freedom from nighttime anxiety and restful sleep for ourselves, as well as for our children. God’s Word is living, active, timeless, and relevant for every person of every age. His truth speaks to us in intimate ways. As it is sung over us throughout the night, we hide His Word in our hearts. Fear is stripped of its power in the face of God’s truth. We can claim God’s promise in Proverbs 3:24, “If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.”
