In our lives, how many of us have never never felt at any point in time that we have been unfairly treated? Have we ever made the statement, “Oh that’s unfair!” The speaker is sure we have. As we go through life and observe some things, we say it’s unfair to us; that’s it’s a gross injustice.

When the Bible talks about those who sleep, there are generally 3 types of sleep:

1. Physical sleep
   For example when Peter and the other disciples were on the Mount of Transfiguration, they were heavy with sleep. Physical sleep is necessary in our lives. We need physical sleep to be rejuvenated. We all know how torturous it is when we’re deprived of sleep. Recently, the speaker’s daughter has been waking up every hour of the night, depriving him of a few night’s of sleep. But this is still nothing compared to what Jacob had to endure. Jacob complained to Laban that one of the things he suffered under his hands was that his sleep departed from his eyes. “In the day, the drought consumes me and the frost by night.” For 20 years, Jacob couldn’t sleep well when working for Laban. Therefore we often say it’s a blessing to be able to sleep through the night.
