Sleepless Nights
“On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.” (Esther 6:1-3)
Today’s Morsel: Have you ever been
awakened in the wee hours of the night because of a dream that prevented you
from being able to sleep? What did you do? Did you just rollover and try to get
back to sleep or did you get up and seek God for what the dream was about?
Sometimes those dreams may be God’s way of getting our attention. Haman desired
to destroy all the Jew from India even unto Ethiopia, over a hundred and
twenty-seven provinces in the days of King Ahasuerus. But anytime Satan
has an intention against God’s people, God will cause an intervention on behalf
of them. Haman was on his way to request permission from the king to hang
Mordecai when the tables were turned against him and he found himself having to
escort Mordecai through the city streets giving him honor, which led to his own
demise. Let me encourage you today. The next sleepless night that you have may
have nothing to do with what you ate before bed. It may be God trying to get
your attention to thwart Satan’s plans.
Sing: When He calls me, I will answer.
When He calls me, I will hear. When He calls me, I will answer;
I’ll be somewhere listening for my name.
I’ll be somewhere listening, I’ll be somewhere listening,
I’ll be somewhere listening for my name. I’ll be somewhere listening,
I’ll be somewhere listening, I’ll be somewhere listening for my name.
Thought For Today: Wake-up Oh sleeper!
