Psalms 63:6 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

It is blessed, at all times, and in all places, to remember God. But many precious souls are so much tossed about by day that they have in their evening meditations frequently to complain, when looking back upon the past, how little they have been occupied in seasons of communion. Reader! do you know what it is to take an hour from the slumbers of the night to think of Jesus, and to commune with him? Do you know what it is sometimes to be as it were awakened by the Lord Jesus for this blessed enjoyment? Do you know what the prophet meant when he said, He wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned? Isaiah 50:4 : which, though I confess it is spoken with reference to the Lord Jesus himself, may yet be applied, without violence to the words, to his people in him. And I do not think I should err, if I added my belief is, that many a follower of Christ could bear testimony to the same, in having been awakened in the night season, when no eye seeth but him that seeth in secret, and the whole world hath been gone to rest, that Jesus might give them an opportunity of communion with him, and he with them. See those scriptures, Revelation 3:20; Song of Solomon 2:14.
