Compare yourself with those who on the Lord’s Day hear nothing except the dismal sound of the world. What a privilege it is for you to hear the proclamation of the gospel!

Dictionary Word of the Day:  Lucubration

DateTuesday, September 15, 2009 at 07:43AM


lucubration \loo-kyoo-BRAY-shun; loo-kuh-\ , noun:
1.The act of studying by candlelight; nocturnal study; meditation.

2.That which is composed by night; that which is produced by meditation in retirement; hence (loosely) any literary composition.

Proverbs 63:6 when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night;7 for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.  8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.

What a great word!! :) Makes me want to get out my candlesticks..... almost! (I do love the modern convenience of lightbulbs.)

I really like the word paired with the verse! David and Solomon were lucubrators?!

Actually - with my insomnia- so am I.
