I like how he says he desires the Lord at night.

This goes right along with seeking the Lord early in the morning, which is another time of the day when we are “still and peaceful” in our hearts and minds.

If you have ever gotten up before the birds or the other early-rising animals, you will understand how quiet it is.

Some of my most precious times with God have been early in the morning or the middle of the night. I get much revelation at those times.

It is in those hours that we can give Him our full, undivided attention. We can focus and get direction, answers, and be comforted by His Spirit in those areas that are troubling us.

Jesus got up early, before anything else was happening, and He went to a place where He was completely alone. And He prayed.

Mark 1:35 (NKJV) 35 Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.

Desire Him in the night hour when we have unwound from all our activities, and seek Him in the early morning. He will meet us there. Amen.
