Our text conveys a story about an unexpected midnight visit. Midnight is important because the hour does not determine His response. God wants to help us at any time, no matter what the hour. The urgency of the need called for determination and persistence at that late hour. We may be in a midnight hour situation, but that is no challenge to God. Our text is not a story about a man and his friend....

God is merciful, but we cannot entertain things God regards as bad and expect to emerge unscathed. Apathy in our spirit is a dangerous thing....
