We come this evening to consider
another night scene of Scripture. The night scene that we want
to consider tonight is spoken of there in verse 1 of Esther
chapter 6. On that night could not the king
sleep, the king Ahasuerus. And he commanded to bring the
book of the records of the Chronicles. They were read before the king. Yesterday, and again this morning,
in every Jewish synagogue, the book of Esther was read just
after the evening service. And it was read amidst the sound
of clapping, cheering, stamping of feet. For yesterday marked the beginning
of the Feast of Purim, and it is the happiest holiday in the
Hebrew calendar. Through the reading of the Book
of Esther, the listeners relive the miraculous events of Purim. The word Purim is the Hebrew
word for lots, for casting lots. In remembrance of the Pur or
the lot cast by the wicked Haman to determine the month and the
day in which the Jewish people were to be killed throughout
the mighty Persian empire. Turn please to Esther chapter
9. Esther chapter 9 and verse 22.
Esther 9 verse 22. that the days wherein the Jews
rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto
them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day,
that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending
portions one to another and gifts to the poor. And the Jews undertook
to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto
them. Because Haman, the son of Hamidasah,
the Agite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the
Jews to destroy them, and had cast fur. That is the law. to consume them and to destroy
them. And when Esther came before the
king he commanded by letters that his wicked device which
he devised against the Jew should return on to his own head and
that he and his son should be hanged on the gallows. Wherefore
they called these deaths Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore,
for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen
concerning this matter, and which had come unto them, the Jews
ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon
all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not
fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writings,
and according to their appointed time every year, and that these
days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation,
every family, every province, and every city, that these days
of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial
of them perish from their feet. So there we have the founding
of the feast of Turin. And it was to commemorate or
remember the day that Haman had chosen by lot. He would come
before the false gods of Persia and seek their guidance as to
what day he would set for the wholesale slaughter of the Jews
that were found in the great kingdom of Persia. But isn't
it amazing that the day that Haman had set as the day of slaughter
and the day of killing and the day of genocide the Jews turned
that day into a day of feasting and a day of rejoicing. Rejoicing
over the defeat of Haman. And whenever the book of Esther
is read and the Jewish synagogue to this very day, I heard it
announced on the radio this past week. I just heard it announced
this past week. And I was thinking about this
night scene. This was the very night scene
I was thinking about. And lo and behold, I heard it
announced on the radio. And I thought, well, is this
not the providence of God? And I read up on the feast of
Purim. And whenever the book of Esther
is read in the Jewish synagogues, and as I say, to this very day
it was announced that it would be read yesterday and this morning
again in the synagogues. When it is read, as I said, it
is read amidst clapping and cheering and stamping of feet. And some
Jews will even write the name Haman on the soles of their feet,
so that when it is stamped They're standing on the name of Haman,
and they're clapping because Haman was defeated. And they're
rejoicing, and they don't want to forget that day. We live in a day in which we're
told, oh, we ought to forget the past. Not so. The Jews do not forget
their past, and neither should we. We should not forget our
past or our heritage. And here we have the Feast of
Turin. And that's what the Jews do this
very day. They give gifts to the poor.
And it's a time of feasting and it's a time of rejoicing. Now, Haman's number one enemy
was Mordecai. Mordecai, of course, was a Jew. Mordecai the Hebrew, he was cousin
to Queen Esther, the wife of Ahasuerus. And Haman hated him. We've read about his hatred for
Haman. Or his hatred for Mordecai. Haman's
hatred for Mordecai. And he hated Mordecai, because
Mordecai refused to bow the knee before Haman. Haman wanted everyone
to bow the knee before him. And as far as Mordecai was concerned,
he would bow the knee before no one but God. And Haman hated
Mordecai for that very thing. He hated him because he refused
to bow before him. He hated him so much that he
was prepared to kill him. After he received an invitation
to a banquet that Esther was preparing for the king and for
Haman, Haman was so pleased because very few people were ever invited
to a banquet that was given for the king, but Haman was invited. And on his way home he passed
by Mordecai. And Mordecai refused to bow before
Haman. And Haman went home and he gathered
his friends into his house and he spoke with them and he spoke
with his wife and told them, I'll never be happy until this
Mordecai is dealt with. And they suggested, well, why
don't you build gallows and hang this man? Just remove them all
together. And we are told that the thing
pleased Haman. In chapter 5 and verse 14. And the thing pleased Haman. And he caused the gallows to
be made. The gallows were to be made that
night. The next day. Mordecai was to
be put to death on these gallows the very next day. And so the workers were involved
in building the gallows that night in preparation for the
hanging of Mordecai the next day. But on that night, the king could not sleep. We know that the book of Esther
is all about the providence of God. And as we mentioned a few
minutes ago, I was singing a preaching on this very text and didn't
realize that the book of Esther is read in every Jewish synagogue.
And I thought, well, isn't that wonderful? Here's a book all
about the providence of God and the providence of God. We were
led to preach on this text this very weekend, in which the Jews
celebrate the Feast of Purim. Mordecai was to be hanged the
next day. But that night, God intervened
providentially And Mordecai's life was saved and subsequently
Haman's wicked plan for the extermination of the Jews was also discovered. All in the
providence of God. This is a wonderful book. I said providentially. This plan
was discovered because that is what the book of Esther is about.
It's all about the providence of God. This we can see from
our text. On that night could not the king
sleep. And he commanded to bring the
book of the records of the chronicles. And they were read before the
king. this evening to speak upon the
king who suffered from insomnia. He couldn't sleep. The king with
insomnia. For on that night could not the
king sleep. I want us to consider first of
all the king and his night of disquiet. It was a night of disquiet for
King Ahasuerus, for no matter how he tried, he could not sleep. He who reigned, we're told in
chapter 1 verse 1, he who reigned from India, even on to Ethiopia,
over 107 and 20 provinces, He commanded all these provinces
and yet he couldn't command sleep. Something as simple as sleep. He had no command over it. It
was taken from him. He could not bring sleep to his
eyes that night. The kings and sun, it came upon
him the night that gallows were being built to hang Mordecai
there on. I want us to consider then with
regard to this night of disquiet for the king. I want us to consider
Haman's plan. With the encouragement of Zeresh
his wife and all his friends Haman planned to hang Mordecai
on the gallows he was having set up in his own house. Chapter
7 verse 9 tells us that. that Haman had the gallows built
in his own house. There would not only be murder in his
heart, but there would have been murder
in his own house if he hadn't been able to go through with
his plan. And that was Haman's plan. A plan he thought would
remove Mordecai and eventually all the Jews from the empire. But while Mordecai knew nothing
of the plan to kill him, God was well aware of it. And providentially it was brought
to light. It was brought to light the night
that Mordecai or Ahasuerus could not sleep. But God had a plan, a plan that
would expose him for what he was. And he would do it by taking
sleep from the eyes of the king. The Lord had his own way of uncovering
the plans of this wicked individual. And he did it providentially. We have a number of examples
in Scripture where the Lord brought to light the wicked devices of
men They brought them to light providentially. You turn with me to 1 Samuel.
1 Samuel chapter 15. 1 Samuel 15. Notice the providence
of God here. 1 Samuel 15. Saul is king. Saul has been told he is to slay
all the Amalekites, every one of them, including all the animals
owned by the Amalekites. He was left to carry out God's
will and God's command. He didn't do it. He spared the
best of the sheep. And Samuel confronted him. And
we read in 1 Samuel 15 and verse 13, And Samuel came to Saul. And Saul said unto him, Blessed
be thou of the Lord. I have performed the commandment
of the Lord. Saul is trying to deceive Samuel. Saul is trying, attempting to
cover up his sin. Because he had sinned against
God, for God had told him to exterminate all the Amalekites,
including their herds. And Samuel comes to him, and
Saul says to him, Blessed be thou of the Lord, I have performed
the commandment of the Lord. But Saul's sin was found out
providential. And Samuel said, What meaneth then the bleating
of the sheep in thine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which
I hear? Samuel came and confronted Saul,
and Saul said, Samuel, it's all right. I have performed my duty. I have fulfilled the commandment
of the Lord. I have taken care of business
as it were. Samuel is listening and in the
distance he can hear the bleating of sheep and the lowing of the
oxen. Providentially the sheep were
bleating just at that time and the oxen were lowing just at
that time. when Samuel met with Saul and
confronted him about the business. His sin was found out providentially. Isn't it amazing how God works? Paul's life was saved by an act
of providence. Turn please to Acts 23. 23rd chapter of the book of Acts. And there in Acts 23 in verse
15. Now therefore ye with the council
signify to the chief captain that he bring him down, that
is Paul, unto you tomorrow as though ye would inquire something
more perfectly concerning him. And we, or ever he come down,
are ready to kill him. So there was a plot being hatched
against Paul to kill him. And they were saying, you bring
him down to a certain place. By the way, you're just wanting
to know more about him. And we'll lie and wait. And when
he comes by us, we'll kill him. Providentially, we read that
Paul's sister's son was in the facility or in the area. We heard
this plot being hatched. And we read in verse 16, And
when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went
and entered into the castle and told Paul. And their plot was brought to
light providentially. Paul's sister's son could have
been a hundred and one other places that night. But he wasn't. God in his providence had Paul's
sister's son in that very place where he could hear the people,
the individuals, hatching this plot to kill Paul. God's providence
is a wonderful thing. And in the providence of God, Ahasuerus, could not sleep that
particular night, the very night that the gallows were being built
to hang Mordecai on. Because it was that night, as
we will see in a moment or two, that Ahasuerus found out something about Mordecai
that he didn't know. And as a result of that, Mordecai's
life was But it was in the providence of God that Ahasuerus didn't
sleep that night. He probably slept soundly the
night before. And he probably slept soundly
the night after. But he didn't sleep that night.
In the providence of God. And in the providence of God, Haman's
sin was found out. If Saul's sin was found out, and those that plotted Paul's
death, their sin was found out, Numbers 32 and verse 23, be sure
your sin will find you out. And after the plan, we have the
problem. The Lord had given King Ahasuerus
a problem that he couldn't solve. On that night could not the king
sleep. He was not the only king who
wasn't able to sleep on a certain night. Read about the king of
Babylon in Daniel 6 In verse 18, Daniel has been cast into
the den of lions. And we read in verse 18 of Daniel
6, Then the king went to his palace and passed the night fasting. Neither were instruments of music
brought before him, and his sleep went from him. So there's the
king of Babylon. Now the king of Persia, we have
king Ahasuerus who couldn't sleep. Now we know why the king of Babylon
couldn't sleep. He was concerned about Daniel.
That's why he couldn't sleep. But we're not told why Ahasuerus
couldn't sleep. We're just simply informed That
night the king could not sleep. That's all we're told. On that night could not the king sleep. Which means the king's sleep
fled away. That's what the words mean. The king's sleep fled away. And we could ask ourselves, who
chaste to sleep away? The Lord. No other reason is given. The Lord. took the sleep from
his eyes. We read in Psalm 127 and verse
2 that the Lord give us his beloved sleep. But the same Lord is able to
take sleep from the eyes of the wicked. And this King was not
beyond the reach of the God of heaven. As we read in Proverbs 21 and
verse 1, the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord. As the rivers of water he turneth
it whethersoever he will. So the Lord is able to deal with
kings in any way that he pleases. They may be shut up in their
palaces, they may be shut up in their defense cities, but
they're not beyond the reach of God. And Ahasuerus was not beyond
the reach of God, neither was Haman. And on that night, the very night
that Mordecai's death had been planned, and the gallows were
being built for him, on that night could not the king sleep. God had chased away his sleep. It kept him awake that night
for a reason, that Mordecai's life might decease. Providence
of God is a wonderful thing. That was the problem. And then
you have the period. Notice how the verse begins.
On that night. The Holy Spirit, the author of
this book, is drawing our attention to the night, the particular
night. On that night. It doesn't just say one night
the king could not sleep, it says on that night. It was the night after the banquet
that Esther had for the king and Haman. It was the night before the second
banquet which Esther was preparing for the two The same two individuals,
Haman and the king. It was the night the gallows
were being erected to hang Mordecai on in the morning. The next morning. The morning after that night
that the king couldn't sleep. Therefore it was a very important
night for the king to have insomnia. Providentially. It could not
have come on a better night. Providentially. Couldn't have
happened on a better night. So the king sleeped to flee from
him. If Mordecai was to be delivered,
then something had to be done and done very quickly. You think
of it, something had to be done that night because Mordecai was
due to die the next morning. And the human being, the kind
of individual he was, would have seen to it early on in the morning. And I believe that. Because when the king arose in
the morning, he wanted to know who was in the outer and who
was there. He was already there waiting
to see the King. And so Haman was ready to hang
Mordecai's soul. Mordecai's life was to be saved.
Something had to be done that night. And we read then, on that
night could not the King sleep. Now while time seemed to be running
out for Mordecai, yet time never runs out for God. It may often be the eleventh
hour when the Lord steps in and saves His servants, but it will
never be too late for God. Praise the Lord, it will never
be too late. God will never be too late. God
will never come upon the scene too late. God will never be behind
the times. We know God is always on time.
His timing is always perfect. And on the face of it you would
say, Mordecai's time is running out. Not in the mind of God. Because on that night could not
the king sleep. You turn please to Acts once
again, Acts 12. Here we have the providence of
God at work. Here we have the Lord working
in his own time when in the eyes of men and women he may appear
to be too late. Acts chapter 12, we know the
story well. Herod has killed James, the brother
of John. with his sword and because he
saw it pleased the Jews he proceeded further to take Peter Peter's
in prison verse 5 prayer was made without ceasing of the church
unto God for him now look at verse 6 and when Herod would
have brought him forth mark the words of the Lord came upon him
and the light shined in the prison and he smote Peter on the side
Raised him up saying arise up quickly and his chains fell off
from him. When did it happen? It happened
the very night that King Herod was going to get Peter. For that's what it says there
in verse 6 and when Herod would have brought him forth Herod
had given orders to go and get Peter. You nearly would have said, oh
it's too late Peter, Herod's on his way. It wasn't too late
for the Lord. Because even as Herod's officers
were making their way to the prison, the Lord was there first.
He sent his angel, had to awaken Peter and get him up. The chains
fell off and the doors opened and Peter was delivered. The
Lord's never too late. The Lord's never late. He most certainly wasn't late
that night that he caused the king to lose sleep. You know, believer, often times that's how the Lord
works. The Lord leaves things, as far
as we are concerned, he leaves things to the eleventh hour. We think nearly too late for
anything to be done. It's the eleventh hour, the Lord
often comes, brings deliverance and answers prayer, as he did
here with saving Mordecai. It was the very night the gallows
were being built. In the morning, Lord Akai was
to die. But that was the night the Lord
intervened. He intervened, as it were, at
the eleventh hour. For on that night did not the
king sleep. And so for the king it was the
night of disquiet. For the king it was also a night
of discovery. What do you do when you're not able to sleep? What did the king do when he
wasn't able to sleep? Well we have here his request.
On that night could not the king sleep and he commanded to bring
the book of records of the chronicles and they were read before the
king. Now instead of calling for musicians
to come and play a lullaby to him and get him to sleep that
way, no. He asked for the government papers
to be brought before him. And he wanted them read in his
hearing. Government papers? I suppose
he thought, well if anything's going to put me to sleep, it'll
be the government papers. That'll put me to sleep alright. But not so. He had those papers
read to him. We know what Nebuchadnezzar did
the night he couldn't sleep. We're told he spent the night
fasting. worrying about Daniel. We know how Paul and Silas spent
the night. They couldn't sleep. They prayed
and sang praises unto God. But God would have Ahasuerus,
the night he couldn't sleep, request the government papers
to be brought and to be read to him. Here we can see the Lord
at work. First removing sleep from the
eyes of the king and putting it in his mind and in his heart
to have the book of records of the chronicles read to him. And in that book that was read
to him he came across the name Mordecai. He is the providence
of God again, believer. Why was that book chosen? Because
I'm sure there were many books. Why was it that book, not some
other book? It was all in the providence
of God. It was the book that had Mordecai's
name in the For it was while that book was
being read, a discovery was made regarding Mordecai which led
to his deliverance and then led to the deliverance of the Jews. After the request, we have the
reading. We're told that when the book
was brought to the king, the records of the chronicles were
read before the king. Now it's interesting to note
that the tense of the words here indicate to us that the readers
of these chronicles read the whole night through. It wasn't
just a little reading. It wasn't just reading a page
or two as it were. They read the whole thing. They read right through, perhaps
until the morning light. That's what the words mean, the
long continuance of this reading. And it was not, as was said,
just a moment or two of reading. You and I know that if we find
we cannot sleep, we'll maybe reach over and get a book and
put on the bedside light and start reading. 10 or 15 minutes,
her eyes are heavy and she goes off to sleep. We don't get maybe too far into
the book, but here this book was read the whole night. Still
the hazardous didn't sleep. The hazardous did not sleep that
night. But he listened to the reading
of that book. And the providence of God at
the start In the providence of God it was that night that Ahasuerus
couldn't sleep. And then you have the record. The readers read until they came
to the place where Mordecai's name was mentioned. We read in verse 2 there, and
it was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigfana and Teresh,
two of the kings chamberlains, the keepers of the door who sought
to lay hand on King Ahasuerus. Now this incident took place
a long time before the night the king couldn't sleep. What
was that incident? It was referred to in the King
Ahasuerus read. Turn back to Esther chapter 2. Esther chapter 2. And in Esther chapter 2 verse
21 we read. In those days while Mordecai
sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Big
Sam and Teresh, of those which kept the door were wroth, and
sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. And the thing was
known to Mordecai. There's the providence of God
again. Mordecai happened to be there and found out, discovered
this plot to assassinate the king. See the providence of God. Mordecai was there. Could have
been somewhere else. but he was there at the king's
gate. He told it on to Esther the queen
and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai's name. And
when the inquisition was made of the matter it was found out. Therefore they were both hanged
on a tree and it was written in the book of the chronicles
before the king. We see the providence of God
here. And when these two individuals
were plotting the assassination of King Ahasuerus, Mordecai discovered
it. Mordecai then told Esther, Esther
told the king. But there's another little detail
we want to notice here. Look again at that verse 22.
And the thing was known to Mordecai He told it on to Esther, the
queen, and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai's name. Esther could have done without
even mentioning Mordecai. But she told the king, this is
what Mordecai told me. This is what Mordecai found out. and so it was then recorded in
the chronicle Mordecai's name was written there in the book
Had Esther not mentioned Mordecai's name Mordecai's name would not
have appeared in the book that night that Ahasuerus couldn't
sleep and he asked for the record of the chronicle and he would
have had that book read to him and Mordecai's name wouldn't
have been mentioned It was found out because Esther
had told the king in Mordecai's name. Providence of God. People would look at that and
say, my wasn't Mordecai lucky? Wasn't it just as well Esther
mentioned Mordecai's name? Isn't he a lucky man? That's
the way the world looks at it. But we see it through different
eyes. We see here the workings of the Providence of God. So that when the book was read,
Mordecai's name was there in the providence of God. This had nothing to do with luck,
of course. God was already planning Mordecai's
deliverance. Even way back in chapter 2, God was already planning for
the future. Do you see that? Away in chapter 2, God was already
planning Mordecai's deliverance. Because it was this incident
that was recorded in the book that Ahasuerus read. Some people are of the mind that God simply reacts to situations
and circumstances. That he just simply responds
to a situation that may crop up. What solution is there? Do you know why people believe
that? Do you know why people think that? Because they don't
believe in a sovereign God. They don't believe in a God who
knows the end from the beginning. Would you turn please to Isaiah
46? Here are verses that are worthy to be underlined in our
Bible. Isaiah 46 and verse 9 Remember the former things of
old, for I am God and there is none else. I am God and there
is none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning
and from ancient times the things that are not yet done. My counsel shall stand, and I
will do it, and I will do all my pleasure. Calling a ravenous
bird from the east, the man that executed my counsel from a far
country, yea, I have spoken it. I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it. I will also do it. Isn't it great
to have our faith and our trust in such a God and a sovereign
Lord. He knows everything about us.
He's an old plan ahead of time. Nothing takes our God by surprise. And the plot and the plan to
kill Mordecai that had been hatched by Haman didn't take God by surprise. It was already preparing the
way for Mordecai's deliverance. This is the God we believe in,
dear child of God. One who is sovereign and is upon
the throne. One who says, I am God, said
it twice over, for I am God and there is none else. I am God
and there is none like me. Then you have the reward. When
King Ahasuerus made this discovery that Mordecai had saved the king's
life, he asked the question, what honour and dignity has been
done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants,
administered unto him, there is nothing done for him. Again the providence of God.
This wasn't discovered until now. The king was then determined
to rectify this injustice. Many saints of God perform a
host of good works and good deeds. And up until now there is nothing
done for them. But their good deeds do not go
unnoticed. You may go unnoticed by others,
but they do not go unnoticed by the Lord. For what the Father seeth and
seeketh, he shall reward you openly. And when the day comes and when
the time comes, the King of Kings will reward us. The King Ahasuerus could reward
Mordecai for saving the King's life, but we will be rewarded
by the King of Kings. And when we see him, he'll say,
well done, my good and faithful. And as we read in Hebrews 6 and
10, for God is not unrighteous to forget your works. And labor
of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have
ministered to the saints, and do minister. Finally, we have
the King and the night of destiny. Unknown to him, and his fate
was decided that night. the night that the king could
not sleep. The Lord brought about the deliverance
of Mordecai and the Jews and the downfall and the doom of
Haman. See how Haman was humbled. You sort of have to smile when
you read the sixth chapter. The Lord does have a sense of
humour. Because when he wanted to put
right this injustice, he asked his servants, who do we have
out in the outer court? And lo and behold, Haman was
there. There he is, calling in. So they bring Haman in. So Haman came in, verse 6, and
the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom
the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart,
to whom would the king delight to honour more than to myself? The king wants to honour me. And so he really led it on. He told the king, this is what
should be done. Haman answered for the man whom
the king delighted to wander, let the royal apparel be brought.
And he was thinking himself, oh I'm going to be dressed in
royal apparel, I'm going to have a crown on my head, and I'm going
to be led through the streets, and people are going to bow down
before me. And the king said, let it be
done to Mordecai. You just imagine how Haman felt. And better still, Mordecai, or
Haman, had to lead Mordecai through the streets. Talk about poetic
justice. Talk about rubbing the salt into
the wound. Here it is. Haman was humble, first of all. Haman was then rendered helpless. This man of a great power had
been promoted by the king. He was about to go in and see
the king and request the life of Mordecai. No doubt it would
have been granted to him. That request. Now we find Haman with all his
power and his strength and his authority taken away. And Haman's told, Haman you're
going to die. His wife told him that. And we
read that he went in to Queen Esther and he fell upon her bed
to plead for his life. And just at that moment, providence
of God, that moment the king came in and saw him lying upon
the bed of his wife. You talk about a king going mad?
He should never have been there in his wife's bedchamber. And
the king said, take this man out and hang him. He was humbled,
he was rendered helpless, and then he was hanged on the very gallows he had built
for Mordecai. We can rejoice, believer, that
whatever the devil has plotted for us, We can say tonight and sing from
the bottom of our hearts, God is still on the throne. And he
will remember his own. Though trials may press us and
burdens distress us, he never will leave us alone, for God
is still on the throne. The night that the king couldn't
sleep, was the night that God wrought deliverance for Mordecai
and for the Jews. We believe tonight in a sovereign
God. We rejoice in his providential
dealings with us. Let us worship him as one who
is God alone and beside whom there is none else. Most loving and gracious Father,
we bless and praise thee for a sovereign God. Rejoice, our
Father, that thou dost plan all things. Nothing takes thee by
surprise. Lord, help us to rest in thy
providence and in thy sovereignty. O loving Father, we thank thee
for the book of Esther. this book that shows us so much
of the movings of God, providential workings of the Lord. Make it a favourite book of ours.
May we read it often. O Lord, we ask thee that we'll
not only read the book, but Lord, have the book in our hearts.
And write the word this evening on the fleshly tables of our
hearts. May we, Lord, spend the rest of the Sabbath meditating
upon thy word, upon the providence of God. Lord, be with each one. Bless those, Lord, that have
a few more miles to travel than the rest of us. And Lord, return
us on Wednesday night to seek thy face. Pray for thy blessing
upon the work of God here. by the grace of the Lord Jesus,
the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
