The Lord’s Blessings in 2009!
At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, because of Your righteous judgments. I am a companion of all who fear You, and of those who keep Your precepts. - Psalm 119:62-63
As if he should have said that the day was not sufficient enough for him, but that in the time of his quiet rest, he lifted up his mind into heaven to give thanks unto God. In this he signifieth that he continued praising of God without wearisomeness. Now then, if we rightly follow the example of David, we must not give God thanks when we think good, and when we shall have remembered Him once in fifteen days, or I know not when: or else when as it shall be for fashion's sake, as when the Bell ringeth to cause us to come to the Sermon. But it must be always, for we must both in the evening, and morning, and also at midnight, have our minds waking to give Him thanks.
- John Calvin
