In the quiet darkness of the night, we are at our most vulnerable…and our minds become a playground for every failing, argument, and fear we’ve ever had. We mentally go over tense conversations with others… composing new and snappier comebacks to leave the person speechless. We cruelly admonish ourselves for every perceived thing we think we should have done in the past…all the while increasing our anxiety and fear. Ephesians 4:26 very wisely cautions us not let the sun go down while we are still angry. And in this Scripture, it adds that we should instead search our hearts and be silent. What does this mean? Well, it starts with, as Psalm 63:6 reminds us, “On my bed I remember You.” The destiny of our nightly search needs to be the Presence of God, and this means examining our hearts and minds for God’s best for us, not anger or fear.
