Proverbs 3:24 NLT You can go to bed without fear; you will lie down and sleep soundly.
As we can see, God promises us sweet sound peaceful sleep. So if we unexpectedly wake up, way before our alarm, that usually means one of two reasons. Either God wants to communicate with us and/or give us some instructions or Satan is attempting to steal our sleep.
We’ll know the difference as soon as we wake up. If we wake up with thoughts tempting us to worry, be afraid, feel guilty, or feel sad, that’s Satan.
Instead of silently taking his attacks in the middle of the night, fight back. With every thought that contradicts the word of God, whisper (if others are asleep) the truth of the word of God. If he says we’re coming down with a cold, declare God protects us from illness (Exodus 23:25). If he attempts to make us believe a promise won’t come to pass, declare what God says about that promise.
Also, we should give our cares, concerns, and worries to God (1 Peter 5:7). Satan wants us to be stressed and fatigued in the morning because we were thinking about what might happen. Give all that junk to God.
Finally, we can build our faith by reading and listening to the word God. Put in some headphones and listen to God’s word. Our faith is built on listening to the word of God (Romans 10:17).
If Satan is going to wake us up, don’t just take it. Make him pay.
