Rise Up, Reading and Sleep

Admittedly, I have been buying (and reading) too many books recently — from Francis A. Schaeffer’s Escape from Reason and How Should We Then Live? to A.W. Tozer’s Submit Yourself To God or J. I. Packer’s Knowing God (and many other books that I can’t remember) — all in a single month or so.

Beside all these readings, I was trying to wake up earlier and earlier — you can imagine how packed the life would be. There is no other reason but I am feeling some kind of void, or emptiness, in my life.

“​​​​​​​It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.” (Psa 127:2)

May I put aside the books for a while and trust LORD for this rest, for I have been longing for it?
