A Blessing to Rest in God

Herod held the power…
So it seemed.

But the fox
Was outfoxed.

His plot to kill Christ
So easily foiled
As the stargazers slept
And heard from God:
“And being warned in a dream…
They departed to their
Own country by another way.” (Matt. 2:12)

How easily God prevails!

The wicked king stewed
And brooded
And conspired, while…

The magi slept,
And were saved.

God can do more
For you while you sleep
Than all hell can do to you
Wide awake.

So, sweet dreams,
Child of God,
The Lord of Glory
Is at work overpowering
The evil powers
For you.
