To start, I’m really glad I could celebrate Bee turning 4 today! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👸🏽💅🏼👯🏼♀️ We went to Kiwanis Park in Tempe, fed ducks, had some pizza and cake, and I also read her Peppa Pig three times! I actually should remember to read the same story to my nieces more than once if they want to 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👭🏽👩❤️👩🧜🏽♀️🧚🏽♀️👯🏽♀️ I want to do this more often 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 I do hope I can spend more time with them in the future, though… things aren’t looking so good for me right now. DM me if you know me, since I don’t think I can tell anyone I don’t know about this. But I hope you’re not bored with these notes or the content of this book 😅😅 this chapter is found in pages 47-48 of my NKJV Bible, page 61 of my NASB Bible, page 105 of my VOICE copy, and page 100 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
As you can imagine, I’m becoming more private nowadays, and I’m realizing I shouldn’t really share someone else’s information with whomever more or less knows we exist, even if it’s not private. But my main point is to share what I’ve learned from my walk with Christ and my Bible studying so far. But with the “dusk until dawn” phrase I notice in my VOICE copy of verse 21 here, I’m reminded that being awake at night, no matter how late, isn’t intrinsically wrong, thankfully 😇😇😇😇😇😇 I don’t think I can be up very late much right now, but it doesn’t matter since there aren’t a lot of jobs that allow you to work graveyard (overnight). And even if you could, safety is often a hit-or-miss. But hopefully a reward comes to you soon if you follow God’s instructions about something regardless of if it’s day or night… one thing I think is underrated, though, is the blessing of driving in the city suburbs with no one else around and enjoying a burger at a restaurant at 2 am. Man, does that sound good at any time of day!
Bottom line: this verse (along with Psalm 134) is helpful to answer the naysayers about being awake at seemingly unconventional times. But don’t expect them to have no reply…. it seems they’ve thought of everything. Yep, every answer, every topic, every issue, every time, everywhere. Jesus was able to silence His critics on many occasions, but they managed to get the Romans to crucify Him outside the city. So even though He rose again, there’s still too many children of the devil, and we don’t know how literally Ecclesiastes 1:10 should be taken. Besides, even if I can find an answer, someone or something can and will come up with a clever rebuttal ten minutes later. I don’t know how I’m supposed to do God’s will at work in the future, actually… but while I find out if God even wants me to do that in terms of getting anyone saved, I’ll read into the next chapter a little bit. I’ll see you then!
