S. Psalm 63:6-8 (NIV) On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. 8 I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.
O. David writes this Psalm during a difficult time in his life. He has experienced others who wanted to harm to him. He is on the run (for his life), hiding out in caves, forests, enemy occupied cities, etc. During various times throughout the night he thought of the Lord and wuold spend time then reflecting upon God, singing praises and praying for God’s provision.
A. I have times when I cannot sleep. I wake up and I cannot get back to sleep because my mind is very busy. When this happens, I get up from my bed and enjoy fellowship with the Lord - praying, reading His word and seeking His continued presence and provision in my life and ministry. Further, He always seems to let me, later, get the rest I need and may have missed out on earlier.
P. Thank you Father for your word today. Thank you for this time of early morning fellowship in which you give me insights, wisdom and peace from the Word and from the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit continue to fill me, illumine me and to be my guide. In Jesus’ name!
