Quiet Time


Romans 15, Psalms 69, Titus 3:2. I've awakened early, surely I will have some quiet time with His word. A child awakens, crawls into my bed then falls back asleep. My wife wakes up, strikes up a conversation about employees and work to be done for this week. Leaving the bedroom I go to the kitchen with my laptop, bible, Purpose Driven Live Daily Inspiration book, and lacking one book written by a friend about Seventh Day Adventists. One child follows me, I give her a banana and she is content for the moment. Another child, not from my seed, but taken in for a while comes downstairs playing his GameBoy. My wife comes into the kitchen, more talking, more children, less quiet. I go back to my bedroom, realizing my time is short, and I must prepare for church. She wants to go to this church, I want to go to that church - I said, "then lets go to both!" So what is God saying to me. This event repeats itself, only the details are changed. Perhaps, while not knowing all that I desire, He see that I know what I need for today. He will feed me. But that nourishment is for me to act. To everthing there is a time. Quiet Time is over.
