God’s servants in the night

Psalms 126-134

Could Psalm 134 have been written by a Levite who served on the night shift in God’s house? Quite possibly.

For nearly 20 years now, I have found myself awaking in the middle of the night to do my devotions. Actually, it is the “womb of the morning.” [Ps. 110:3] It is less a matter of my discipline and more a matter that …. I JUST WAKE UP!

For one thing, the duties of the daytime are not pulling on you. There’s literally not much else to do at that hour. TV is worthless. Raiding the fridge gets you in big (pun intended) trouble. There’s no one to talk to but the Lord. It’s a good time to listen to Him. The reception is more clear. Get the picture?

Because I’m retired I can take a nap in the daytime when I need it. Meanwhile, I will probably continue this schedule until I graduate.
