Remember Him, Psalms 63:6-7AMP

Psalms 63:6-7 AMP

[6] ¶When I remember You on my bed, I meditate and thoughtfully focus on You in the night watches, [7] For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings [where I am always protected] I sing for joy.

As I “meditate” on this scripture right now the first thing that stands out to me is “When I remember You on my bed”.  He remembers the Lord before and after he goes to bed.  Before we lay down for the night we are remembering the Lord and as we lay there falling asleep we will remember the Lord.  He is the one who allows us to sleep and to wake up in the morning.  Another aspect that stands out is “meditate and thoughtfully focus on You”.  So, the Lord is not just a passing thought.  We are to intently focus our thoughts on Him.  We are to think deeply and carefully about the Lord.  All of our thoughts are focused on Him.  

Why you might ask?  Because the second verse says, “For You have been my help, And in the shadow of your wings (where I am always protected) I sing for joy”.  Where I am what!? It says “always protected”.  God will always protect you as a shepherd should.  He is the good shepherd.  He never leaves nor forsakes.  This is why we remember the Lord and we meditate on Him.  He has always been our help and our protection.
