Psalm 22:2 O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; And in the night season, and am not silent.
David who had to face many challenges says in great agony that, he is going through a night season and he feels as if God is silent. Are you going through a night season in your life?
Let us look at our life manual as to what God has to say about this. Psalm 42:8 The LORD will command His loving kindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me. So, this means that in the night God shall give you a song in your heart and you shall sing it through your dark days.
Acts 16:26 It was during midnight that Paul and Silas who were imprisoned sang and Suddenly there was a great earthquake!! The very foundation of your closed doors will be shaken and instantly the doors will open and every chain that holds you from progressing will be loosed when you sing in the night season.
Psalm 63:6 During our night seasons we are asked to remember God and meditate on Him, not on our situations. In 1 Samuel 3:10 Now the LORD came and stood and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant hears.” that the LORD called Samuel. And he answered, “Here I am!” So, in the night season the Lord will call out to speak to you.
In Acts 23:11, the Jerusalem Jews were intending to kill Paul for preaching the gospel, surely he must have spent a sleepless, fearful night, like any of us, the Lord didn’t leave him to suffer but said that night standing beside him, “Take courage; for as you have solemnly witnessed to My cause at Jerusalem, so you must witness at Rome also.
” Do you have any promises given to you and your family? Declare it in the night season for it shall come to pass and the night cannot hold you back. Gen 31:24 After years of slavery, Jacob left Laban’s home, God came to Laban, in a dream of the night and said to him, “Be careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad.”
God will show up and warn against those who plot against you or the enemy who works against you to retreat. Daniel 2:19 says the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So it’s during your night season that God can show you vision and reveal mysteries that you end up blessing the God of heaven.
