Quiet Time

From: Billy Graham's Daily Devotion

 

Psalm 119:105 "Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path."

 

Jerome, one of the early Christians, said, "Ignorance of the Scriptures means ignorance of Christ." Jeremiah said, "When I found Your words, I devoured them; they became my joy and the happiness of my heart." (15:16)

 

To read the Bible one needs a "quiet time." Christian students often ask, "How do you maintain your spiritual high? What do you do on a daily basis?" I tell them about my "quiet time." Some days it is in the early—sometimes late—morning, sometimes evening. Without it, my Christian life would be a wilderness.

 

Isaiah said, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." (Isaiah 40:31) So gain the strength of eagles, as the prophet suggested. Set a time each day when you can spend a few minutes alone with God.
