Good evening, ladies, and gentlemen! How are you doing? Happy New Week! Guess what? This is the final week of the month of April! Wow! We have come this far by Grace indeed! Where would we be without God? He has faithfully taken care of us and guided us through these first four months of the year! What a loving and awesome God we serve!
Last week, we began a weekly mini-series titled, “Easter is over- What Now?” The aim of this mini-series is to address some of the issues a 21st Century Christian faces, whilst at the same time-sharing practical tools to our Christian Growth. This post will be dedicated to Quiet Time! We would be looking at “What is Quiet Time?” “How to do the Quiet Time.” “The benefits of having your Quiet Time.” Let us get right into it…
Life as we know it, is very fast paced. It appears resting for a second would cause a huge gap. With a lot of “free” information, coupled with technology, time waits for no man indeed. We sometimes get caught up in the pressures of this face-paced world. Once we are not intentional living a purposeful life, we get swamped up with the things of this world. Hey! Don’t feel bad about this! We all experience this! I am a victim of this.
We want to prove to everyone that we can. We say we have God behind us, but we sometimes think that we can handle the small stuff- which moves on to the big stuff. By the time we realize what is going on, we have successfully driven Christ to the side. We realize that we are going through life our own way- using our own strength, might and wisdom.
The awesome thing about the God we serve is, He never gives up on us! He is always there with subtle reminders of His Grace, Mercy and Love towards us (His Children)! He patiently guides our path no matter how stubborn we might be! Oh, what a wonderful Father we serve!
Though we may get worked up by this world, we must be intentional about nurturing and growing our relationship with God! This is very important! Though God is very patient; He is a jealous God. We cannot take Him for granted and live our lives on our own terms- especially when we have asked Him to be Lord and take center stage in our lives.
