I lie awake thinking of You, meditating on You through the night.
Psalm 63:6
NLT Bible
So many of us go to bed at nights with minds that are cluttered with any number of thoughts.......family, finances, jobs and tomorrow's schedule. As His children, our thoughts should always be about Him and His love, faithfulness, goodness, protection and mercy towards us. How wonderful it is to drift off to sleep, while meditating on the attributes of God.
For some of us, there may be times when we cannot sleep because of physical and emotional problems and we lie awake feeling isolated and alone, wondering if anyone cares and we long for the dawn to break. This is when we need to praise and worship God, to take our eyes off our circumstances and focus on His goodness. In the still of the night, when all is quiet, God's presence is so real and we are drawn into a closer and more intimate relationship with Him. This is what David experienced in the wilderness. Even though he longed for morning to come, he treasured the intimacy he shared with God during the night. We need to keep our hearts and minds on Jesus all through the day and night. Intimacy with Him is a treasure we should covet.
Thank you Lord for Your goodness. I lie awake, Lord and my mind is filled with thoughts of You. You are my Rock, my Fortress, my Shield and my Deliverer. I need you Lord, to lead and guide me,to show me what I should do. I love you Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
