Woke naturally just before 4am.
At first I was like “nah, I’m gonna shove this dog to the other side of the bed so I can continue to sleep…”
But by the time my brain processed that thought, it was on and to the races.
I really do enjoy waking this early. It gives me a lot of time to myself and I’m WAY more consistent with my personal time with God,
I’m still reading through the Psalms and here is part of today’s reading:
“The little that the righteous man has is better than the abundance of many wicked people. For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord supports the righteous.
The Lord watches over the blameless all their days, and their inheritance will last forever. They will not be disgraced in times of adversity; they will be satisfied in days of hunger.
But the wicked will perish; the Lord’s enemies, like the glory of the pastures, will fade away — they will fade away like smoke. The wicked man borrows and does not repay, but the righteous one is gracious and giving.”
Psalms 37:16-21 HCSB
I could help but think about Bitcoin when reading this passage. I know contextually that God didn’t write it specifically about BTC, but it brought a smile to my face thinking of it when I was reading.
What this really reminds me of is the spiritual nature of creation, of our lives and this world.
Ephesians 6:12 states, we are in a battle, "… not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
You know, recently I’ve heard from several sources that the 3am-4am hour historically was the turning of the 4th watch of the night.
One source I saw indicated many notable Biblical spiritual battles occurred during this time. And if God awakens you during this time of night, it is because you’ve been called to arms.
So with that, I bid you good morning, and turn my attention back to the battle I’ve been awakened to intercede for.
God bless your day!
