Verse(s) For the Week of Jan 15 - 21, 2008
Daily Quiet Time
Psalm 5:3, Ps 46:10, Matthew 6:6, Isaiah 30:15, I Corinthians 9:27, Proverbs 8:34, James 4:10
To have a daily quiet time, you can take just 15 minutes out of each day. Here is a simple schedule, in case you are having problems getting started.
5 minutes - Listen to God. Read the Word of God for 5 minutes.
5 minutes - Talk to God. Pray.
5 minutes - Plan to do what God wants you to do.
There you have it - 15 minutes out of your busy life.
1. Set a time to spend time with God and stick to it. Surely you can spare 15 minutes for God. Preferably in the morning when you are fresh. Psalm 5:3 "My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up."
2. Stillness - Be still and listen to God's Word. This allows you to concentrate. Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth."
3. Seclusion - Be alone with God, without distraction so He can have your absolute attention. Matthew 6:6 "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."
4. Silence - Be quiet so God can put His thoughts into your thinking. He will bring truth to your understanding. Isaiah 30:15 "For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength and ye would not."
5. Self-control (temperance) - Keep your attention on God. Pay attention to His Word.
I Corinthian 9:27 "But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."
Proverbs 8:34 "Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors."
6. Submission to God - Be prepared to do what God asks you to do. To refuse is to break fellowship with Him. James 4:10 "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up."
DEPEND TOTALLY ON GOD!!!
Until next time,
