Earlier today on Bellshill Salvation Army Band’s Facebook page I shared some devotions. I’d like to share those devotions with you tonight.
To grow spiritually, we must ensure we spend quiet time in God’s presence, just as Jesus did.
But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer.
Luke 5:16
God wants us to want to spend time in quietness with Him. We must not fit time with God in with our other activities. Instead we must set aside a specific time each day to spend quality time with God. We all have times each day when we’re at our best – for me I’m not a morning person, so may quiet time each day is later in the day.
It’s also good idea to have your quiet time with God in the same place each day. A place where you will not be interrupted or disturbed. A place where you can pray, read your bible, and listen to God – I often also listen to music as I find it can often help me focus my thoughts on God.
Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.
Psalm 62:5
One of the songs I often use during my quiet time with God, is ‘In This Quiet Moment’.
In this quiet moment, still, before your throne,
Conscious of your presence, knowing I am known,
In this quiet moment, set my spirit free,
In this quiet moment, make a better me.
I’d encourage you to make sure you spend quality quiet time in God’s presence, each day.
