Devotion for Friday, July 10th, 2009 "Tips for having a Daily Quiet Time with God"

Psalm 63:1 - 3 "(1) O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; (2) To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. (3) Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. "

Finding time is not an easy task. We constantly have something or someone clamouring for our time. I believe that time is our most valuable commodity. It is the only thing that we spend all of what we have. We can't save or manufacture more of it. Any relationship we have in this life requires time. Our relationship with God is not any different. I share some tips that I hope will enhance the time you spend with the Lord each day.

How?

• Pray: Praise, Confess, and renew your dedication to the Lord.
• Read: Re-read, mark where you read, memorize a daily verse.
• Act: Think through, live it out, and pass it on.

What?

• Spend time alone with God and His Word everyday.

Who?

• All Christians who want to all God wants them to be.

Why?

• For a daily cleansing of your sin: renewing your dedication to the Lord.

When?

• Do it before you do anything else.

Where?

• A definite, quiet place.
