Quiet Time With God

               Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere - Psalm 84:10.

            There is nothing better in this world rather than spending our time in the presence of the Lord. God wants us to set aside a quiet time to spend with Him. He said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest” - Mark 6:31. Enoch, Noah and Abraham had quiet time with God and walked with Him.  Daniel got down on his knees three times a day and had quiet time with God.

                Jesus had quiet time with God early in the morning. Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed - Mark 1:35. Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God - Luke 6:12. But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed - Luke 5:16.

                God speaks to us and guides us during our quiet time with Him. You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy - Psalm 16:11. There is fullness of joy in the presence of God. Let our soul always thirst to have a quiet time with God like the deer that pants for streams of water. As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? - Psalm 42:1, 2.                                                  

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to set aside a quite time to spend with You every day in Your presence. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
