3 DEVOTIONS How to Have a Quiet Time Developed by Pastor Timothy Keiler What is a Quiet Time? A Quiet Time is a time of direct contact between your mind and God s using the Bible and prayer. It is a time of dedication, cleansing, instruction, strengthening and delight. Bible study and prayer are not simply for our sake. God deeply desires our fellowship and worship - it gives Him joy and pleasure! (John 4:23) Read My Heart, Christ s Home. Think from this perspective. If you are not moved by this fact, you have not understood it. Communion with God must be daily. (Joshua 1:8-9) To know God, (not just to know about God) is the goal. How we pray, delight and think on God is the only true measure of whether our relationship with Him is alive. (John 15:4) God bought (in blood) personal access to His presence for us. Even Abraham and Moses did not have this. (2 Cor 3:12-18; Matt 27:51) Moses was denied (Ex 33:18; 2 Cor 4:6) that which we may have each morning. (John 4:21-23) The maintaining of a daily Quiet Time is perhaps the most consistently difficult duty of the Christian life. Its difficulty is a humbling reminder of our lack of commitment to Him. It is an unalterable principle, however, that a Quiet Time is necessary for Christian growth and obedience. What are the goals of a Quiet Time? First, worship: to get to know Him, to be humbled by His holiness, comforted by His love, and strengthened by His presence. Second, change: to root out sins and establish biblical attitudes and actions in your life. How do I have a Quiet Time? 1. First, meet God. Still your heart, thank Him for His presence and concentrate. You may wish to praise Him with a Psalm to warm up your heart. Take a Psalm and look for things for which to praise Him.

4 2. Second, listen to God by reading a passage from His Word. Don t choose more than a chapter. Read it carefully, reverently, intelligently; read it more than once. Pick out what you think is the central thought of the passage. Record that thought and or some other truth that has struck you, in your own words. Then determine what God s message is to you. Is there: a. a promise to claim? b. a sin to confess? c. a command to obey? d. an example to follow? e. an error to avoid? f. a thought about God that is new to you? Once this is determined, record it and think of some way to practice or act upon the message if possible. 3. Third, talk to God through prayer. The elements of prayer are: a. Praise and Thanksgiving. Be specific. Search your life and mind for things to thank Him for and then praise Him for. (Thank you for letting me lose that contest! I see how wise you are - it would have been bad for me! Thank you for forgiving me after the way I acted yesterday; how merciful you are!) b. Requests for self and others. Be specific. Unload your burdens and pour out your thoughts. Also, make a list of things to pray about for family and friend. Use this list daily to pray. c. Confession. Search your life for sins committed since yesterday. Search for good deeds you avoided doing as well. Ask for cleansing, and then thank Him for His full forgiveness through Christ s blood. How can I get started? Make a contract right now to begin a daily Quiet time. Be consistent in time and place. Start with about 20 minutes. It should be unhurried. This place for it should be quiet. Morning is ideal. Use a notebook and or a Quiet time Sheet. Expect dry periods. That s no excuse for stopping. Change your format, or the Book of the Bible you are reading every so often to avoid stagnation. Share what you are learning in your Quiet Time with other Christians. Get hold of a good Quiet Time guide if you wish. Your pastor will be able to show you a variety of materials.

7 SAMPLE Quiet - Time Worksheet Passage James 1:1-8 Date Begin with Prayer - ask God to help you. 2. Read the passage twice. 3. Things I noticed today. Key words: joy = the emotion evoked by well-being, success or good fortune = delight trials = a test of faith, patience or stamina by suffering or temptation perseverance = bearing pains or trials calmly or without complaint = patience Key thoughts: I should be thinking of it as a good thing that trials come into my life. I should be learning to deal with difficult situations with the wisdom of God. God gives wisdom to those who seek it from Him. I should be able to say that I am growing in Christ as I obey what I understand. Main truth: As I trust and obey, I can experience joy even in the face of many trials. 4. How this passage applies to me. What does God expect from me because I listened to His Word today? I believe God expects me to see any trouble that comes my way today as an opportunity to put into practice what I know about Him and His Word. He expects me to see difficulties as opportunities to grow. My plan to do it: I will memorize verse 2 and think of it throughout the day and look at it again tonight to see how I did. 5. Talk to God in prayer. (A. C. T. S.)

8 Lord, I praise you for who you are. You are the God who created all that exists and the one who keeps it all going. You alone are awesome! I confess my weakness and acknowledge my need for you. As your Word says, apart from you I can do nothing. I am a sinful man and I need your forgiveness and strength for each day. Lord, I thank you for your love for me and for all that means. Thank you for salvation and eternal life. Thank you for the many blessings of life. Thank you for my wife and family. Thank you for your precious Word that teaches me about you and how to live the Christian life. Thank you for this truth I have looked at this morning about being thankful for the trials that come into my life. I want to think of them as being good. I want these difficult situations to produce patience in me and I thank you for what you are doing in my life. Father, I ask on behalf of those in my life who do not know you that you will use me today to reach them. I ask that you will give me strength to live for you today. I am weak but you are strong. Please help me as I relate to each person I meet today. Help me to see the trials as learning experiences that draw me closer to you. Help me to bring glory and honor to your name in all I do and say. I ask it all in the name of Jesus, Amen!

Rom 10:9-10 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. Rom 10:13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." 1 Cor 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, that you may be able to endure it. 1 Cor 13:13 But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Gal 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. 1 Tim 1:5 But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Heb 10:24-25 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the day drawing near. 1 Pet 4:8 Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
