Counsel in the Night
“I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.” (Psalm 16:7)
David praises God for His counsel—wisdom that speaks not only in the day but even in the stillness of night. As we begin the year, this verse reminds us that God is not silent. He speaks through His Word, His Spirit, and even through the quiet stirrings of our hearts.
In the night, when distractions fade and fears sometimes rise, God’s voice can be clearest. He brings clarity, correction, and comfort. His counsel is not harsh—it is healing.
This year, let us tune our hearts to His voice. Let us seek His wisdom in every decision, big or small. Let us create space for stillness, where His Spirit can instruct us.
Prayer: Lord, I praise You for Your counsel. Speak to me in the quiet moments and guide me through the noise. Let Your wisdom shape my thoughts and decisions this year. Amen.
