#568: Now Rest beneath Night's Shadow
Two (slightly) interesting observations about this text:
-it mentions 'beds." Which is not super surprising because we're in the evening section, but it's also a more concrete, our-world image than most of the stuff we've seen so far, which is more generically about "Jesus is the light so even when it's dark we should praise God."
-verse 1 says "you, my heart, awaking." Not "my heart praises God just as much as it did in the morning" or "before my heart rests, it sings a song of praise," but "my heart is just now waking up at dusk time." What has your heart been doing the rest of the day??
