Be still, and know that I am God. - Psalm 46:10
Quiet time with the Lord can differ from person to person. Most preferred quiet time would be in the early hours of the morning when we are fresh and alert. In the wee hours of the night could be more suitable for some. What ever the time and place, the more important factor is to be STILL before the Lord.
'Stillness' can mean that one is motionless and could be dead both physically and spiritually. Be careful when we want to be still before God. We want that moment to be still in so far as not to be disturbed nor be distracted. Come before our Lord in humbleness, honesty and with sincerity.We want to be still and yet be alert to His soft voice. Like aeroplanes that flew into the airport for refuelling. It has to be still while all other parts of the plane is been checked to see that all parts are secured and functioning well.
Allow our Lord to refuel us at each quiet time with His holy spirit and allow our body to be screened to unsure that every part is functioning according to His will. So that we can bring honour to our God in everything we do in our thoughts, words and deeds.
Quiet times with God store up power for future emergencies.
