‘Deep Sleep.’
a) Proverbs 19:15. May be brought on by laziness.
b) Genesis 2:21; 1 Samuel 26:12; Daniel 8:18. May be given by the Lord God for His Purposes to be fulfilled.
c) Genesis 15:12; Job 4:13; 33:15. May fall upon us.
d) Jeremiah 51:39. Comes upon some people and they never wake up again.
e) Jonah 1:5. May not even be affected by the storm.
f) Acts 20:9. May come to us even when we are comfortably listening to a rather long Message in the Church.
(Through this QT I am so glad that I never am caught by Deep Sleep, I am a “light sleeper”)

‘Those People Who Bring The Good News.’
Romans 10:14-15.
a) Help people to Believe on, and then call upon, the Name of the Lord.
b) Help people to hear about Jesus Christ.
c) Are sent by God and the Church.
d) Have beautiful feet to go and preach the Gospel of Peace.
(Through this Second one I respect and continue to pray for Those People Who Bring The Good News)

Chris.
The storms of life can be very severe. No one enjoys being shaken by the storms of life. We do not know how or why Jonah was sleeping in the storm but he really needed to be awake at that time. Let us not “switch off” like Jonah at times of storm, rather let us come to the Lord at such times.
