Sleep Lightly Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and

breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Without the breath of God, we are but dust. Man clings tightly to Gods breath, while oft times rejecting God himself. Luk 20:37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Luk 20:38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. I will never be dead in Gods eyes as long as I love him. He sees all that I am, every cell, every molecule, every atom of my being. He knows the design of my DNA and the pattern of my personality. He designed all of me before he created the world. He sees me now. Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: I do not fear death, for there is no death for me. I do fear pain and suffering, such is the lot of mankind since Adam. But while I love and respect Gods breath, I love God more and I will willingly release it back to him when he chooses. I will but sleep lightly. Mat 9:24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. You need not laugh. Jesus is the resurrection and the life. Joh 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. While I was not given the same commandment of life that Jesus was, I do have a commandment of life nonetheless. Joh 11:11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Though Lazarus had released Gods breath, though his body was decaying in the grave, Jesus went to wake him up from his sleep. Sleep lightly friend Lazarus. Joh 11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

Joh 11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. At a word from our Lord, Lazarus breathed once more the breath of God. The disease that killed him was gone. The decayed flesh was restored. Such is the power of the words of the Creator. I do not fear death, for I know my redeemer liveth. Job 19:25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: Job 19:26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: When your time may come to release the Breath of God, sleep lightly my friend. Mar 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. I will sleep lightly and await the call of that beloved voice. Joh 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. Joh 10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. Joh 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. I will sleep lightly. By Brian Jones
