Psalm 4:8

©jmsbell/6/21/2020

Even while we sleep...! Let's Press-on Where did we go…while I slept? what mountains and rivers…were leapt? Through what tunnels did we travel... leaving footprints upon unknown gravel? What mysteries were revealed... that You, in Your Wisdom...have concealed? For, here I find myself awakened with the drudge of yesterday…forsaken Yet, so aware...that though I did dream… there is nothing to remember, it seems But You were there, Jehovah…in Your Silent Way infusing with guidance unto another day And now, duly revived and adept… I do wonder, where did we go…while I slept?

Psalm 16:7, you captured it. I love His "night ambush" when He speaks into my spirit and "mysteries were revealed", and "infusing with guidance". Joyce, you captured it! Blessings, RJ.
