Quiet Time

In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.
Mark 1:35 (NASB95)

How quiet is your quiet time?  If we are not careful our time with the Lord will become part of the routine or a hurried obligation.  We need quiet.   Even Jesus needed a quiet time.  We do too.  We can learn from Jesus example about quiet time.

Jesus went when He knew He could get away.  For Him it was early morning.  He had a place that was out of His ordinary routine.  He went to a place that was secluded.  He practiced the spiritual disciplines of Solitude and prayer.

The most important aspect of a quality quiet time is being able to get away and be quiet.  God says to us, "Be still and know that I am God."  Try it today it will make a huge impact in your life.
