“…Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them….” – John 8:1-2
This scripture shows us that even Jesus needed to find a quiet place every once in awhile. And so do we. It would be ideal to be able to do this daily to recharge our batteries, because we all need time alone with God. It’s in those still, quiet moments that we can hear Him as God speaks to us. So often we find our lives can be so hectic, busy and sometimes even chaotic and our quiet time gets placed on a shelf like a dusty old book and is forgotten. It’s time that we pull it off the shelf and spend some quality time with the Lord. And use that time just to stop and reflect and talk with God and listen as He comforts us, encourages us and guides us.
You’ll find in doing so, that God can do some amazing things in your life and speak to you, as you are quiet before Him and listening.
Oftentimes, our quiet times is rushed, and we spend very little time spent just listening. Why is it that we are so rushed? Why is it that we tend to live our lives in the fast lane? I believe we need to “slow down” and take time out of each day to spend time alone with Jesus and take life at a slower pace.
Find a quiet place to spend some time with God today, you never know what He has for you.
