Back to EpisodesA Man Who Sleeps Well
Description
How a man sleeps tells you more about his heart than he'd ever admit. Some lie awake replaying conversations they wish they could take back. Others stare at the ceiling worrying about finances, family, work, or the future. We live in a world full of pressure — and most men are carrying burdens they were never meant to carry alone.
Chris Muiña uses Proverbs 3 to point toward the source of a rest that doesn't depend on circumstances. The strongest pillow you'll ever lay your head on is a clear conscience before God. Sweet sleep isn't just the reward of a tiring day — it's the fruit of a heart that trusts God and a life lived in alignment with His wisdom.
The world says security comes from a bigger savings account, a stronger retirement, or having everything under control. God says real security comes from walking with Him. A man who lives with integrity doesn't have to remember which lie he told. A husband who honors his wife has nothing to hide. God's wisdom gives a man confidence without arrogance and stability without perfect circumstances — because his hope rests on a faithful God, not a flawless life.
Verse of the Day: Proverbs 3:21–24
Your Daily Man-Up Challenge
Tonight, do something different. Before bed, spend five minutes with God and ask three questions: Is there anything I need to confess? Anyone I need to forgive? Any burden I've been carrying instead of trusting God with it? Pray over those things and surrender them. Don't carry into tomorrow what God has invited you to leave at His feet today.
NEW TO THE MEN’S MORNING DEVOTIONAL?
Welcome!
The Men's Morning Devotional is a podcast to help you man up in every way - in your faith, your family and your work - by spending a few minutes getting into the Word before you face the world.
Every weekday, you'll get a challenge and encouragement from Scripture that speaks to the pressures you carry as a husband, a father, and a leader. You’ll get truth you can take straight into your day. And you’ll know you’re not standing alone, because men everywhere are waking up to fight the same battle.
Your hosts are Steve Alessi, pastor of Metro Life Church of Miami, FL, along with his son, Chris Alessi, and his sons-in-law Christopher Muina, Christian Calatayud, and Dani Burgos.
Join us every weekday to man up!
