Here is what we will be teaching this Sunday in the student ministry:
What is a “quiet time”?
A “quiet time” is a time of direct contact between you and God through the Bible and prayer. It is a time of dedication, cleansing, instruction, strengthening and delight. This isn’t just for us either. God desires this as well. He wants to fellowship with us. It gives God joy to meet with us! (John 4:23)
Communication with God is something that must be daily. Joshua 1:8,9. The goal of this time is to know God. Not just to know about him, but to know Him.
How we pray, delight, and think on God is the only true measure of whether our relationship with Him is alive (John 15:4).
Even Abraham and Moses did not have access to God like we do!
The maintaining of a “quiet time” however is one of the hardest things for us to do. Its difficulty is a humble reminder to us of how sinful we are and how weak our commitment to him can sometimes be.
This Sunday we will look at the goals of a quiet time, things you should do during a quiet time and how to get started.
