What is it about 2 AM? For the past week, I have been awakened at this unthinkable time of the night with a stirring and prompting to just be still (as though I would otherwise be playing a game of Simon Says with the grandkids?) and quiet (as though this would be the time that I would normally be practicing new runs on my guitar?). Fortunately, over the years, I have learned that it is during these times that I’ve sensed God’s prompting to spend time with Him. Can you identify with these promptings?

What is it about 2 AM? It is during these times that I have heard His voice and sensed His “jealousy”. I guess that God knows that if I don’t give Him sufficient time in the day, He will creatively find a time where there are no appointments, no phone calls to make, no distractions to pull me away from Him.

What is it about 2 AM? I clearly hear His voice and His voice alone. It’s in these times of “aloneness” that intimacy arises, and I hear the secret things of His heart, and I share the secret things of my heart.

What is it about 2 AM? It is God’s gentle reminder that I am His and He is mine. This is “our” time.

Thank you, Lord, for these “wake-up calls” for me to be with You.
