MEMORISE: And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. Mark 1:35
READ: Matthew 6:6-8
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 7
MESSAGE:
Many years ago, I composed a song in my native language, it says:
When a child wakes up early in the morning.
He bows down to his elders.
Lord, I am awake and I bow down to you.
As a responsible child, the first thing to do in the morning is to say ‘Thank you, Jesus!’ Then, do a brief study of the word of God before you go out of your room to greet the elders in the home. This invariably means that you would make it a habit to wake up at least an hour before your family devotion in order to spend time with your Maker.
Thus, quiet time is a period set aside to receive directions, warnings, or instructions from God before setting out for the day. I implore you to do this daily as it will help you keep your heart pure and will also help you know more of God.
KEY POINT:
Make quiet time with God a daily habit.
HYMN 3 – All To Jesus I Surrender
All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
CHORUS
I surrender all.
I surrender all:
All to Thee,
my blessed saviour
I surrender all
All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken.
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
All to Jesus I surrender.
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
