Spending Time With Our King Psalms 119:103 How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

 

James 4:8

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

So, I thought I would give you an example of what I do for my Bible times/Quiet Times with God. I hope that by me posting this God would get glory and you would draw ever more nearer to Him. Having Bible times daily has greatly impacted my walk with God and I highly recommend that if you don't already have a Bible time daily, then you start. These are just a few ideas, you do not have to do it like me of course :) I have found when you create an atmosphere  for Bible time where you want to be, then you will want to come back. So, that is what I do. I turn on soft worship music, light a few candles, get a snack or a hot drink and just start reading a passage, and then I journal what I got out of the passage.  Your time will be so much more productive if you put some thought into your Bible times, than if you just  go to the middle of the house where every one is chatting and or raising there voice(anyone have 5 brothers:-) and it is messy I personally think that it is harder to concentrate on the Bible if you do not make it a point to put a little time and effort in to it. Although, I said all of that I know that there are busy Mommy's of young kiddos and such who do not have time for a long drawn out Bible time and there is no where in the house that is quiet so dont feel bad:) God knows where you are at! I would love to hear about how you all have your quiet times...What do you do?

Here are some scriptures about having Bible time.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
1 Peter 2:2-3 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, 3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
Psalms 119:103 How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
 
Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
 
Ephesians 5:16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
 
Psalms 5:3In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait in expectation.
 
Colossians 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
 
John 4:23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks
 
Psalms 119:164 Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous laws
 
Psalm 119:11     
I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you

Psalm 1:2         
But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.

Walk with Him, and abide in His presence Ladies!

  2. This is such a good idea. I usually just read it in the car, or try to read it before I go to bed. But, I really like the idea of a special place devoted to spending time with God! Thanks so much for posting(:

    Your Sister in Christ,

  5. Oh Kelsey you are such a sweet heart. You thinking of us busy mommies was very thoughtful. I would love to have a place like you have!!! In our house I used to get up early and go sit in our big cozy chair with my cup of coffee and just read and pray. Now in the trailer it's become a bit more of whenever and wherever. But God is so good and knows just what we need. I have been listening to the Bible on The iPod throught the day and that has been so encouraging to get fed that way. Levi always stops whatever he is doing when he hears them say "Levi" and he says "mommy they just said my name again" :)
    Thanks for such an encouraging post!!!
