“When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.” - Psalms 63v6-7
Most of us have times when we wake up in the night and just begin to think. What do these “night thoughts” consist of? Do they consist of fretting and worrying? Do we spend those moments mulling over what we must do the next day? Are those thoughts things we would be ashamed of if anyone else knew?
The psalmist had the right idea of night thoughts. He knew that that these times were precious opportunities to meditate on the Lord and remember all that He has done. Why do we waste all that time with thoughts that are at best useless and may even be sinful?
Lord, the next time any of us awake in the night, remind us of the opportunity to meditate on you, for you have indeed been our help.
