Nathan the prophet was going about his ordinary life when God spoke to him directly, interrupting his night with a message he needed to deliver. This verse is a simple transition, but it carries weight: when God has something important to say, he reaches out to those he trusts to listen and act on it. For anyone in a difficult season wondering if God still speaks or cares about what's happening, this reminds us that God initiates contact, sometimes suddenly and unexpectedly, to guide us forward.
