Quiet Time

What is it, about quiet time, that makes it so daunting? Why is it, so hard to sit down and just spent time with God? We use every excuse in the book to not do it. Yet, we all know the importance of it.

There comes a time when we realize. That we are in a drought with our quiet time. We say to ourselves that we will do it later. But it never happens. Some say I'm not a morning person. Or I go to bed to early and don't want to be tired for tomorrow. There's a lot things, you can say.

But one thing remains the same. The importance of doing it. You realize, how much you need it. The only way to grow in Christ is to take time and spend time with him. It's like with friends, spouses, or potential mates. You spend time with these individuals and you get to know them.

However, God should be #1 on the list. God knows all about you. He loves everyone. But we all need a little bit, of God time.

One of the problems people run into is when and where. It doesn't matter. In the car, or on the couch. God is very flexible. He just wants your undivided attention.

I urge, everyone, if they are missing this aspect in their walk. To make sure it gets put back in.

Even Jesus needed time with his Father.

And we wonder why life is such a struggle. It is natural for us to turn to God in the midst of struggle. Why wouldn't God let us struggle if that is the only way He gets to spend time with us?
