Dear Young Christian:
There is no time limit to meditation! Sleepless nights and early awakenings are excellent opportunities to have fellowship with the Lord. Such meditation is more to be desired than a sedative or a sleeping pill.
The Psalms talk a lot about meditation and when David was in the wilderness of Judah, (notice the title of Psalm 63), he wrote, “I remember Thee upon my bed, and meditate on Thee in the night watches” (Psalm 63:6).In fact, part of the formula for happiness is given to us in the very first Psalm: “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night” (Psalm 1:1-2).
Where and when will you meditate on the Word of God this week? Instead of being frustrated by wakeful nights and waiting times, use them to advantage by taking time to meditate.
Your Christian Friend,
