INTRODUCTION:
RECAP OF LAST WEEK:
II.
THE PURPOSE OF A DAILY PERSONAL WORSHIP TIME
A. TO GIVE DEVOTION TO GOD.
Definition:
Devotion: love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or cause.
(Oxford Dictionary)
(Ps.
29:2) (2 Ch. 31:21)
• God deserves our devotion!
(Rev.
4:11)
• God desires our devotion!
(John 4:23)
B. TO GET DIRECTION FROM GOD.
(Ps.
25:4)
2 Things To Do In A PERSONAL WORSHIP Time
• Consider your way:
(Pr.
4:26) (Prov.
3:5-6)
• Commit your day:
(Ps.
37:5)
Jesus prayed to seek the Father’s direction.
(Luke 6:12-13)
C. TO GAIN DELIGHT IN GOD.
To “delight,” says Webster's Dictionary, is to “take pleasure” or “to give keen enjoyment” or to “give joy or satisfaction to.”
Therefore, to delight in God's Law/Word is to “take pleasure in the Word of God.”
In simple words, it means we enjoy the Word.
It is like your favorite desert or food.
(Ps.
37:4) (Ps.
16:11)
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 TO BE LIKE GOD.
(2 Peter 1:3-4) (II Corinthians 3:18)
III.
HOW TO BEGIN AND DEVLOP A DAILY PERSONAL WORSHIP (QUIET) TIME
A- SELECT A SPECIFIC TIME (Mark 1:35)
Mark 1:35 (NLT)
Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray.
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.)
(Psalm 5:3)
Psalm 5:3 (NLT)
Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord.
Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.
(Isaiah 26:9)
Isaiah 26:9 (NLT)
In the night I search for you;
in the morning I earnestly seek you.
For only when you come to judge the earth
will people learn what is right.
• It seems logical to begin the day with it.
"The best time to tune your instrument 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.
(Daniel 6:10)
Daniel 6:10 (NLT)
But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem.
He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God.
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)
Luke 22:39 (NLT)
Then, accompanied by the disciples, Jesus left the upstairs room and went as usual to the Mount of Olives.
(Mark 1:35)
Mark 1:35 (NLT)
Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray.
C- GATHER THE RESOURCES YOU'LL NEED
(2 Tim.
4:13)
2 Timothy 4:13 (NLT)
When you come, be sure to bring the coat I left with Carpus at Troas.
Also bring my books, and especially my papers.
(Hebrews 4:12-13)
Hebrews 4:12–13 (NLT)
For the word of God is alive and powerful.
It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow.
It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.
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!
(Psalm 9:1-2)
Psalm 9:1–2 (NLT)
I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.
I will be filled with joy because of you.
