"But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, 'Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.' And when they heard that, they entered the temple early in the morning and taught."
Acts 5:19-21
Night-time can be the worst time. When all the hustle and bustle of the day recedes into quietness, the mind is free to ponder the issues that confront, and we end up in the prison of "Why this?" or "Why that?" I can imagine the apostles were questioning why they were in prison when they were just obeying God. Had He forsaken them? But night can also be the time that God can reveal Himself. This was not the last time that God delivered the Apostles from prison at night (Peter, Acts 12:5-8; Paul and Silas, Acts 16:25-26).
God does not forsake us just because we are in "night" situations. He is there to deliver.
Today's Thought: God is with us in the dark times of night.
Have a God-present day (and night). Love you.
