Quiet Time
Thursday, October 29, 2009
I've been doing my quiet time but I felt spiritually stagnant and dry. After going out with Darren on tuesday, I realized that there was something really wrong in how I had been doing my quiet time...
I used to just read a bible verse and a small part of a Christian book sometimes but most of the times my quiet time would only be maybe about 5-10 minutes? Just doing it for the sake of doing it before I sleep. Until one night I felt God say, "is this how much I mean to you after all I've done for you?". I knew I wasn't honoring God in how I did my quiet time.
So, I decided to change the way I do quiet time! I don't wanna offer God a cheap offering. I wanna give Him more of my time!
Instead of doing quiet time at night, ad far as possible, I do it in the day. And instead of just a short prayer and then read the word, pray and get my heart right with God. Speaking in tongues really helps me focus on God whenever I can't focus on Him... though reading Christian books helps build up our spiritual life, reading the Bible is very very important. So i'm now reading at least one chapter a day =]
Really good stuff! I feel so different after giving God something that costs me something! =]
