For my brothers in the Thursday night Bible Study! After listening to you all report on your quiet time experiences - I have a few thoughts I'd like to share. Your quiet time with the LORD is absolutely critical. it is the very heart and soul of your relationship with Jesus. There are so many references, examples and illustrations that I could use to make that point that it's crazy! There is one however that fits my concept of a solid quiet time and that is: Galatians 6:6-8.
What am I sowing in my quiet time, am I sowing into my quiet time with the LORD? I will reap what I sow - that is unmistakeable. Three things make up a good solid quiet time: Prayer, study, meditation. They go in various order and for various times but these three I believe make up the components of a good solid quiet time with the LORD.
Prayer prepares your heart and mind, in study you absorb the Word, and in meditation you link the other two together to make application of what you studied to your life.

At times I find my mind wander during a prayer...I've found having specifics to share with God has brought about an increased feeling of prayer fulfillment.
ReplyDeleteI've read somewhere recently where the Holy Spirit will intercede on prayers that are unspoken...I don't recall where I found this but it made complete sense in that our hearts are a true reflection of our current spiritual state.
ReplyDeleteReading "Quiet Strength" by Tony Dungy; good stuff. He coached with Herm Edwards (a couple of really stand-up fellas.)
ReplyDeleteThis set of videos I have on Bass Technique etc., seems to possibly be taylored towards someone seeking a professional career...He really preaches keeping the left hand close to the strings not letting them fly around (this is very arduous trying)...
