THE PURPOSE OF A POWER NAP
I hated naptime as a kid. If you have children, you probably know that's not very unusual. Who wants to lie down in the middle of the day when there's so much to do outside?
My mother was much smarter than me, and I didn't realize how much when I was five. She made a deal with me that she would lie down next to me at nap time, and if she went to sleep first, I could get up and play. I don't ever remember winning that competition.
For some reason, my dad would nap on the living room couch. We always had a hand-crocheted afghan over the back of the couch, and he would pull it over him and take a snooze.
And, of course, everyone took a nap Sunday afternoon because we had to be fresh and bright for Sunday night service.
Our friends South of the border have what they call a siesta. In the more traditional nations, everything shuts down at noon, and the workers go home, have lunch and take a nap before returning to work.
It seems that God was the one who created the first naps. For instance, Adam took a nap, and when he woke, he had a wife named Eve.
Abraham took a nap and had an encounter with God concerning a covenant.
Jacob took a nap and was introduced to the angels ascending and descending from heaven to earth.
Jesus took a nap, and it gave the disciples their first lesson on how to quiet the storm.
Peter also took a nap and was taught of the Lord concerning the gospel going to the Gentiles.
To sum this up, dreams have shaped human history like nothing else. Much of the direction given to our old testament saints came out of naptime.
If I had to guess God's logic in this procedure, I would say it's an excellent way to get us out of the way, so we don't interfere with the directions he's giving us for our journey.
Naptime anyone?
