"Put me together again with your Word."

Ps 119:107 MSG

When everything in the psalmist's life began falling apart, he prayed, "Put me together again with your Word." That's what your quiet time with God does. So, why don't we have a consistent quiet time with God? Two reasons:

(1) We think our quiet time must be a long time. Start small. Reserve five minutes to open your Bible and meditate on a brief portion of Scripture. Chat with God about it.

Tell your needs to Him and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you through the whole day. Good news! You have just experienced a quiet time!

So, tomorrow, repeat it. As your spiritual appetite grows, you will find yourself putting aside more time-ten minutes, then twenty, and that time will keep on growing. (2) We think our quiet time must be free of all noise!

Instead of avoiding hustle and bustle, Jesus wants to connect with you there. Begin to find creative ways to connect with the Lord all day long. Listen to worship music while you clean, and sing along. Pray in the Spirit. Learn memory verses. "Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord" (Col 3:23 NKJV).

Listen to the Bible while you drive-excellent apps are available. Pray while exercising-develop your faith muscle! Go for coffee with God-do your Bible study at a café. Go for a walk with Jesus-pray for others, and praise God for the outdoor beauty He created.

Welcome Him into your routines, and the mundane will turn into holy moments. Give the Holy Spirit your consent to interrupt, then do what He says. To put it another way do life with Jesus.
