Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
Matthew 26: 40-41
Matthew 26: 40-41
Are your quiet times still and peaceful? Or are they distracted and rushed? What can you do to improve your quiet times? Do you have a special place set aside where you spend time with the Lord?
My quiet times have become loud times. The time that I have put aside for the Lord have become mere leftovers of my day that I deem myself too tired to continue on with anything else and therefore do my quiet time. This is not what God deserves. Usually I am too preoccupied with school work or other forms of non-beneficial, self-indulging entertainment that I completely forget about what I was created to do in the first place, to worship Him (Col 1:16).
Life has been so busy that I forgotten about God until the end of the day when its too late..! In this scenario, the devil has won; he has created enough distractions for me to keep me away from God. But this will be a constant battle for me. Just because I do not have a functional computer at my disposal doesn't mean that I cannot do my quiet time blog. Thats just an excuse.
I will constantly try to improve my quiet time, even if it does mean listening to music to drown out other music within the vicinity. I will find the Lord every morning and everyday of my life!
Amen.
