TODAY'S DEVOTION.QUALITY QUIET TIME.
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24 NIV)
A daily quality quiet time is necessary for spiritual growth, but the question is how do you achieve it? You may be motivated to do it but don’t know how. A wise man said, “If you aim at nothing, you are sure to hit it!” To have a meaningful and quality quiet time, you will need a plan or get a kind of general outline to follow.
The main rule is to keep your plan simple.Thereafter, follow these three simple steps: Relax, request and read.
1. Wait on God (relax). Be still for a minute; don’t come running into God’s presence and start talking immediately. Follow God’s admonition: “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10a NIV). Be quiet in worship for a short time to put yourself in a reverent mood.
2. Pray briefly (request). This is not your prayer time, but a short opening prayer to ask God to cleanse your heart and guide you as you study the word. You need to be in tune with the Author before you can understand His Book! Two good passages of Scripture to memorize are Psalm 139:23-24 and Psalm 119:18.
3. Read a section of Scripture (read). This is where your conversation with God begins. He speaks to you through His Word and you speak with Him in prayer. Read your Bible with the help of daily devotionals like this.
TODAY'S INSTRUCTION .
Imbibe the habit of a quality personal quiet time daily for your spiritual growth.
