Psalm 42:8–"By the day the Lord commands His steadfast love, and at night His song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life."
God's steadfast love is unending. It does not fail, it does not fade, and there is no off-time. Humans, however, are seasonal beings. Be it night to day, spring to summer, or minute to minute, we are naturally an undulating sort, full of ebb and flow. But even among these many cycles of up and down, we can be stabilized by Him who is: God. Whether morning, noon, or night, we have the distinct privilege of enjoying the presence of the Lord it only we would seek it in humility and faith. It truly is that simple.
Therefore, my prayer tonight is that you and I would seek His face in our beds as well as in our cars just as strongly as we would in the pews. In this way we will be sure to enjoy the uttermost of His great goodness in our lives. And I don't know about you, but that's what I want!
Oh thanks Nick for posting this. I used to allow the Lord to wake me up at 3 a.m. every night to write His music. I remember I finally asked the Lord to quit waking me up; I was too tired to get up and write....human nature, or disobedience? I have missed those days for quite some time now...good verse to remind us of His goodness and mercy././
