Maybe when you can’t sleep?

Like 4:00 AM, which it is here (exactly) in this motel room!

I started to say that I am alone this week, but not so! (My Wife normally being with me week after week, Revival after Revival.) But the Lord is with me! (He may have aroused me to share this thought with someone this very hour!)

Here’s the Bible idea of what to do at such times … “I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.”

Again, this is Psalm 16:7-8 in the King James Version of the Bible.

What does it mean?

This … THINK … about the Lord when you cannot sleep or rest. When it is night! “Set Him before you,” mentally and emotionally and volitionally!

Then one’s reigns (literally kidneys) but essentially one’s “insides,” his or her mind or heart … will “instruct” … an intensive, forceful verb … you about the Things of God!

“Counsel” means “advice.”

This is simply old-fashioned “meditation,” thinking upon and fellowshipping with the Lord God Almighty!

And the result?’

A stable life, especially spiritually!

“I shall not be moved,” or not totter or slide or even shake! What a powerful promise!

Well, let me get back to my time with the Lord!

He has Revelation Chapter 12 on my mind.

What’s on yours?
