"Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide" (Genesis 24:63). "Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in Thy Word" (Psalm 119:148). "Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?" (Proverbs 22:20,21). "The night is far spent, the day is at hand... let us put on the armor of light" (Romans 13:12).
The
midnight watches I recall
Before
I found in Christ salvation
Had
no attraction then at all,
But
rather, fearful meditation!
But
after I met Christ my Lord,
Those
watches I'd anticipate
Because
those hours would afford
A
quiet time to meditate.
Those
watches then became a pleasure
To
ponder Scriptures I had read,
As
I reflected on the treasure
Of
wondrous things my Lord had said.
O
Lord, how much You taught me when
Those
midnight watches were in sight!
My
meditation now, as then,
Still
floods the darkness with Your light.
