My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises.
- Psalm 119:148
As previously mentioned, I haven’t been sleeping well. I wake up in the wee hours of the morning, I lay tossing and can’t go back to sleep. Last night (or early this morning depending on how you look at it) at about 2:30, I awoke and began my usual, idle waiting to fall back to sleep but as I lay there, a Scripture popped into my head about meditating on God while in bed. I decided to give it a try.
This resulted in one of the best sleepless nights I’ve ever had. God blessed me richly as I lay considering Him and gave me new insights. I realized that I didn’t want to lose these so I flicked on my lamp and began pouring my brain into my notebook. I now have pages of material on how to explain Christianity to unbelievers. If someone were to ask me today, why I am a Christian I am better prepared to give an answer then I was yesterday.
It’s 6:30 a.m. now and I haven’t slept since 2:30 so pray that I make it through the day without keeling over from sleep deprivation.
God will keep you standing on your feet today! :) He won’t keep you awake to talk to you without giving you the strength you need to stand.
