The Sleep and Dream of Ungodly Men
Psalm 73:20
As a dream when one wakes; so, O Lord, when you wake, you shall despise their image.


I. THE UNGODLY ARE ASLEEP. Not physically but spiritually.

II. IN THIS SLEEP THEY DREAM. They fancy the world and its joys are real, abiding, secure, satisfying.

III. AT DEATH THEY AWAKE. Their all is in this world, and lo, death comes and strips them of all they valued, as a dream of one awaking. How much better to have this awakening here!

(W. Harris.)
