quiet time


"Every life that desires to be strong must have its "Most Holy Place" into which only God enters."

"First and foremost He wants our utter devotion and love for Him. It is from hearts filled with love for Him that all good works and acts of love flow."

"Strength is found not in business and noise but in quietness."

"The only thing we need today more than anything else is to spend time alone with our Lord, sitting at His feet in the sacred privacy of His blessed presence."

These are a few of the quotes from my devotional today and the book that i have been reading. most of the book does not talk about this but the part i read today did!

This spoke to me so much! for me i spend so much time in ministry and talking to people and just being busy with everything that i need to get done. Sometimes i completely forget to spend time with the Lord. Not that i don't want to spend time with Him and not that i don't have anytime that i am not doing anything. well i just forget to spend time with Him. usually because i end up distracting myself with everything else. sometimes i think well i am going to church tonight so that will be my time with the Lord today. But that's not enough!

I desire to spend time with the Lord everyday taking time out to completely devote to Him. I know that time is very important to Him to.

He desires to bless us and to fellowship with us. He desires our hearts and our love!

Friends we need to take that time and spend it with the Lord not spend it doing things for the Lord. yes we need to do things for the Lord, He has given us gifts for a reason but how are we supposed to do things for the Lord if we don't know Him and spend time with Him.

Let's make it a priority to spend time alone with the Lord everyday!!
