Mar. 4

When I remember Thee on my bed, I meditate on Thee in the night watches, for Thou has been my help, and in the shadow of Thy wings I sing for joy. Psalm 63:6,7.

How often have I awakened in the night, unable to go back to sleep? Over the years I have learned to use that time to listen to our Father. Yes, it is true we listen to one another. That quiet time can be used in no better way. The cares of the past day or the coming plans for the day can be reviewed. They can be placed at His feet, and He can sort them out and give new directions that will please His purposes. The best ideas come in those times.

Today, Lord, I ask that You allow me to follow through on the thoughts You gave me last night. You are so faithful to be listening and to be loving me. It seems You never sleep—all the while you are watching and waiting for me to give You my attention. I trust You to do that all through this day. Thank You, Jesus. In Your name I pray. Amen.
