I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
Bless the Lord who has given you counsel, as Christ blessed His Father for direction. Jesus sought guidance on the mountain at night, and we must do the same: cease trusting your own understanding and let God's Spirit lead you. The inner man grows wisdom in those still hours if you have first learned from God.
