INTRODUCTION:
A- Three types of worship in scripture:

(Hebrews 10:25)
3- Personal Worship
(Psalm 119:147)

DEFINITION: "Personal Worship (A Quiet Time) is a daily time I set aside to be alone with God to get to know Him through the Bible and prayer."
I. THE IMPORTANCE OF A DAILY PERSONAL WORSHIP TIME:
Your time alone with God should be the top priority in your schedule for five reasons:

B. Jesus DIED to make a relationship to God possible.
(I Cor.
1:9)
C. Personal time alone with God was Jesus' SOURCE OF STRENGTH
(Mark 1:35, Luke 22:39, Luke 5:16)

• Commit your day:
(Ps.
37:5)
C. TO GAIN DELIGHT IN GOD.
(Ps.

FACT: The better I get to know Christ, the more I LOVE HIM .
The objective of your Quiet Time is not to study about Christ, but to actually spend time with him!
D. TO GROW DAILY LIKE GOD.
(2 Peter 1:3-4)
(II Corinthians 3:18)
III.
HOW TO BEGIN A DAILY PERSONAL WORSHIP (QUIET) TIME
A- SELECT A SPECIFIC TIME
1- The best time to have a quiet time is when I am AT MY BEST.
Reasons for considering an early morning quiet time:
• The example of Bible characters.
(Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Hannah, Job, Hezekiah, David, Daniel, Jesus, etc.)
• It seems logical to begin the day with it.
"The best time to tune your instruments is before you play the concert, not after!"
• It demonstrates that meeting with God is your first priority.
You give Him the first part of your day.
• You are likely to be more rested, your mind is less cluttered, and it's often the quietest time!
Whatever time you set, BE CONSISTENT.
HOW LONG SHOULD A QUIET TIME BE?
3 Guidelines
• Start with 15 minutes and let it grow.
• Don't watch the clock!
• Emphasize quality, not quantity!
B- CHOOSE A SPECIAL PLACE
(Luke 22:39)
(Mark 1:35)
C- GATHER THE RESOURCES YOU'LL NEED
A Bible with readable print
Can be a physical Bible
Can be on a tablet, computer or phone
A Notebook - to write down what the Lord speaks to you about, and to keep your prayer list.
Can be a physical notebook or journal (but should be set aside for that purpose)
Can be electronic
Can be one note, or any note-taking app
A Songbook or worship music- to help you refocus!
Can be a physical songbook
Can be a song playlist or youtube playlist
D- BEGIN WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDES
• REVERENCE
(Ps.
46:10)
• EXPECTANCY
(Ps.
119:19)
• WILLING TO OBEY
(John 7:17)
