What Is Quiet Time?
Ron Luce
I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. - John
10:14
A quiet time is an intimate, face-to-face, heart-to-heart connection with God
through His Son, Jesus Christ. It's the time when you actually build your
relationship with Jesus. Specifically, it is a time for you to get up every day
and read the Bible and pray and get closer to Him.
A lot of people say to think to themselves: "I prayed a prayer, but I don't
feel closer to God; or I felt really close to God when I was at that retreat
or camp, but now I don't feel very close to Him."
You're not going to feel close to anybody if you're not spending time with them.

If you were married and didn't spend time with your spouse, the two of you
would not grow any closer. Actually, you would move farther and farther apart.
A quiet time is an expression of your commitment to be a true follower of
Christ. It's as if you're saying, "Lord, I'm going to make sure that I don't
accidentally
get farther and farther away from You. In fact, I'm going to use this time to
get closer and closer to You.
I'm going to use it as a time to get fed by You and to get filled up with You
and to understand more of You." Before you do anything else, start your day
with God. Talk to Him, seek Him in His Word and pray through your day. Make it
your top priority.
Maybe you've never had a quiet time with God before. Start thinking about what
kind of quiet time you want to have and where you want to have it. Think
about what time you need to get up in order to have enough time to read your
Bible and pray before you start your day with the world.
Your personal relationship with God is the dynamite that it will take to effect
this generation. You will begin to spread the gospel as your character becomes
like Christ. This transformation process can only happen in direct relationship
with Christ.
The more we know Jesus, and look like Him, the easier it will be to lead people
to him.
