The Night Watches

June 7 – The Night Watches – Psalm 63:6-7

     This Psalm was written when David was in the desert of Judah.  He was seeking the Lord and it was middle of the night.  On His bed he was thinking of the Lord.  He was not able to sleep and he was thinking about his life and the challenges he was facing.  Often in the middle of the night when we are thinking about things God speaks the plainest.  One quote went like this, “When you are not able to sleep let God speak.  He will often make his will plain when you have nothing to distract you.”  In our modern day of devices and phones it is easy to lose ourselves in the nonsense of this world.  God will not be rushed or distracted.  You have to seek Him before He will be found.  Turn off your phone and pray.  It is when you do you will find God to be your help and your protection.  As David said, under His wings you will be safe and secure.
