Quiet Time

We all live in such a busy world. At times we find it very difficult to divide our time between family, work and ministry. Some of us even have a greater struggle – we have no time for God. As beings created by God, we need to spend quite time with the creator on a regular basis. What a quiet time is? A quiet time is a daily time I set aside to be alone with God, to get to know Him through the Bible and prayer. Your time alone with God should be the top priority in your schedule for many reasons.

In reading Gen 1:27, we must understand that there was nothing else created that was given the privilege that human beings have given of being able to fellowship, talk to, and communicate with the creator of the universe. And, that is what we were created for. Rev 3:20 also reveals to us God’s desire always has been and always will be to have fellowship and communion with human beings. That’s why we were created, and if we don’t do that we are missing out on our greatest purpose in life.
When Adam and Eve sinned, the fellowship that God created us for was broken. God had to send His son, Jesus, to earth to make that fellowship possible again by taking away our sins. God didn’t send Jesus to die only to make our going to heaven possible. He did it because He wants a relationship with us and fellowship with us.

A quiet time is important first of all because God created us that way originally and then because Jesus died to restore it after it was broken by sin.
Mark 1:35 tells us that even Jesus observed His quite time with God. If Jesus knew the need for constant communication with God and He was the son of God, how much more do we need that constant, everyday time where we are together with Him
