One Hour
“Doth not even nature itself teach you” (1 Corinthians 11:14).
Here is some more insight on my lizard friend I mentioned yesterday.
Each morning as we are sipping coffee and having breakfast, mister lizard appears on the inside of the window by the table. Almost simultaneously, another lizard of about the same size appears on the outside of the window. For one hour, they stare through the glass at each other. I assume they must communicate with each other in some lizardly way, but whatever it is, there they remain, so that you can almost set your clock by the timing of their meeting and subsequent length of their rendezvous.
As I considered this quirk of nature, I thought of the following rebuke spoken by the Lord Jesus to His weary disciples in the garden of Gethsemane: “What, could ye not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation” (Matthew 26:40-41). How much time each day to we spend quietly in communion with the Lord and in contemplation of His lovely person and great work?
