Psalm 105:3 (NIV)
3 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
Jerome, one of the early Christians, said, “Ignorance of the
Bible means ignorance of Christ.” Job once said, “I have esteemed the words of
his mouth more than my necessary food.” Jeremiah said, “Thy words were found
and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine
heart.” To read the Bible one needs a “quiet time.” Christian students often
ask, “How do you maintain your spiritual high? What do you do on a daily
basis?” I tell them about my “quiet time.” Some days it is in the early,
sometimes late-morning, sometimes evening. Without it, my Christian life would
be a wilderness. Isaiah said, “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, and not be
weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31). So gain the strength
of eagles, as the prophet suggested. Set a time each day when you can spend a
few minutes alone with God.
Thought for today:
Do I spend time with God?
