God gave us sleep to remind us we are not him.

God gave us sleep to remind us we are not him.

Charles Spurgeon
Sleep

Every hour of every day, God is richly blessing us; both when we sleep and when we wake His mercy waits upon us.

Charles Spurgeon
Sleep, Blessing, Waiting
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1869). “Evening by Evening; Or, Readings at Eventide for the Family Or the Closet”, p.215

Sleepy Christian, let me shout in thine ears: thou are sleeping while souls are being lost, sleeping while men are being damned, sleeping while hell is being peopled, sleeping while Christ is being dishonored, sleeping while the devil is grinning at thy sleepy face, sleeping while demons are dancing round thy slumbering carcass, and telling it in hell that a Christian is asleep. You will never catch the devil asleep; let not the devil catch you asleep. Watch, and be sober, that ye may be always up to do your duty.

Charles Spurgeon
Christian, Sleep, Men
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1859). “Spurgeon's Gems: Being Brilliant Passages from the Discourses of the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon”, p.175

The fact is, brethren, we must have conversion work here. We cannot go on as some churches do without converts. We cannot, we will not, we must not, we dare not. Souls must be converted here, and if there be not many born to Christ, may the Lord grant to me that I may sleep in the tomb and be heard no more. Better indeed for us to die than to live, if souls be not saved.

Charles Spurgeon
Sleep, Soul, Church
Spurgeon, Charles (2015). “The Complete Works of C. H. Spurgeon, Volume 7: Sermons 348-426”, p.398, Delmarva Publications, Inc.

If you will tell me when God permits a Christian to lay aside his armour, I will tell you when Satan has left off temptation. Like the old knights in war time, we must sleep with helmet and breastplate buckled on, for the arch-deceiver will seize our first unguarded hour to make us his prey. The Lord keep us watchful in all seasons, and give us a final escape from the jaw of the lion and the paw of the bear.

Charles Spurgeon
Christian, War, Sleep
Charles Spurgeon (2016). “Morning and Evening”, p.209, Discovery House
