Midnight Snack
by PamFord Davis Do you raid the ice box in the middle of the night? What do you choose for a midnight snack? Many of us wake and feel pangs of hunger and make our way to the kitchen. If we know there are left over's from supper we go straight to our target, anxious for that extra serving! Stumbling around in the darkness we try not to wake others, find our snack and fill that empty spot in our rumbling stomach. Do you choose nutritional foods or a favorite desert? A sweet tooth can become an alarm clock, going off just as settle down for the night. Should we push the snooze button, ignore our cravings, or jump out of bed and satisfy the desire? We may be wise to count sheep, or we'll count extra pounds on the scales! Our wake up call could be from an inner hunger that only God can fulfill. "At midnight I shall rise to give thanks to Thee because of Thy righteous ordinances (Psalm 119:62 NAS)." Give Him thanks; and enjoy your midnight snack of meditation morsels!
