It is 4.20am and I have been up for about an hour now. As I work permanent nightshift I am often awake at this time on my days off. These last few days and weeks have been more or less a constant joy. I have experienced comfort within, unspeakable joy at the word and providence of God and delight in Him.
Going back to my entry on the 8th June, re the morning portion of my Daily Light on Psalm 37, v.3, I searched through the sermons here for a sermon on this verse, but there wasn’t one for v.3, but there was for v.4, which I posted a little about on the10th June.
I also daily read the morning and evening devotionals of Mr Spurgeon and Saturday morning’s entry contained a devotional on Psalm 37, v.4.;
I have experienced this several times over the past 4 years, where I have read the word of God; either in the Bible or my Daily Light or in a sermon or book, and a part of it has stood out for me, a text or a verse, and then I find that text replicated in some other place, within hours, sometimes minutes. I remember the first few times I thought, “What wonderful coincidence” – a text would stand out for me in the Daily Light first thing in the morning, I would have breakfast then pick up a book – maybe my Bible for my daily reading or a book containing sermons by someone, and there I would find the same text at the very point where I had left off previously.
I find it happens regularly when I am more diligent and careful about spiritual matters.
