Through the Night With God (Quiet Moments With God)

Some of the most fragrant flowers in the garden stay tightly closed, or "sleep", during the day. They open only later in the afternoon and evening, perfuming the night air with their sweet scents. The most magnificent of these late-bloomers is the moonflower. Moonflowers look like white morning glories, except that their blossoms are enormous--up to eight inches across. Each bloom only lasts one night, but the scent more than makes up for the short performance. Just as nature lends itself to day and night creations, so there are "morning people" who feel their best in the early hours of the day and "night people" who seem to bloom after dark. If you are a late bloomer, fill the night air with the sweet fragrance of prayer before God this evening. The Lord looks forward to your companionship and is waiting to hear from you. Give Him your attention and listen to what He wants to tell you. Treat God as you would a dear friend. As you spend time seeking God during the night, you will bring a sweet fragrance into the throne room of God. Enjoy your night glories.
