Now for some it might mean making a cup of tea as well as reading a story or something to distract our thoughts, or for others it will be to read a psalm or a well known scripture passage that brings calm to our busy minds, and peace to our souls.
But there are times when the Lord speaks to us in the small hours, maybe because He knows there’s nothing else going on to distract us! And our verse does instruct us to meditate on His word, even in the night.😊
The boy Samuel had one of those encounters when the Lord called his name several times in the night to talk to him, and he had to learn to tune in to hear what God was saying. Daniel was another who had dreams and visions in his bed at night that were prophetic, and some of those visions are still unfolding today! Whenever God speaks to us we need to be listening.
No matter what is keeping us awake at night, whether it’s too much cheese at dinner time😊, or the worries and cares of life, or the Lord is speaking directly to us, we can know that He is aware of it all and He does want us to cast our cares on Him and be able to sleep peacefully.
Psalm 3:5 NLT I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the Lord was watching over me.
God designed us to recharge our batteries through sleeping, so reading His book when we need to turn to our midnight library can only be good, and will definitely help us settle down again as it brings peace to our souls.😊 Amen.
Isaiah 26:3 NLT 3 You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
