SITTING AT NIGHT
Today's reading: Psalm 119

"I reflect at night on who you are, O Lord, and I obey your law because of this." Psalm 119:55 NLT

I've gotten up in the middle of the night to sit on the front stoop with God.

To give Him some things on my mind.

To listen to Him as He speaks things to my heart.

To hear the night sounds like the bullfrogs in the pond, the chorus of the cicadas, the wind rustling through the drying stalks of corn.

To see His nighttime creation such as the brightness of the full moon, the millions of stars hung one by one or the clouds blowing across the night sky.

Even night reminds me of who He is. How desperately I need Him. How truly amazing He and His works are.

Those quiet moments at night bolster my resolve and determination and faith in the daylight hours.
