Psalm 119:62 – At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
When it comes to the righteous judgments of God, we have so much for which to be thankful!
According to Webster the judgments of God are His statutes and commandments. They are those Biblical principles by which we can run our lives.
The Lord gave us the ten commandments as a framework. The rest of His principles hang on that broad frame. None of His commandments are contradictory. They always follow the intent and direction of His other commands.
Another definition of judgment is “justice and equity.” We can rest assured that God is acting with our best interests at heart. He is always just (founded in fact; true to promises; faithful). God will only and always do what is best for us.
I know we all have nights of restlessness, pain, worry and responsibility. Sleep is not always the blissful escape that we need and desire.
During those nights when sleep is driven from us, we need to remember to thank the Lord for His holy statutes, divine law and just actions in our lives.
He can be trusted. Our hearts can rest easy in that – even at midnight when sleep is far from us.
We need to use those moments to calm our heart and minds with prayers of thanks to our God.
