The Privilege of a Quiet Time

Three quotes to reorient your way of thinking on this Monday morning about personal devotions:

“Rose early to seek God and found Him whom my soul loveth.  Who would not rise early to meet such company?” –Scottish clergyman Robert Murray M’Cheyne (from his journal in 1834).

“Perhaps we should stop talking about being ‘faithful’ to have a quiet time with God each day, as if we were doing something to earn a reward. It would be better to talk about the privilege of spending time with the God of the universe and the importance for our own sake of being consistent in that practice.” –Jerry Bridges, “Transforming Grace”

“A quiet time is a tremendous privilege you’ve been given. The creator of the universe has invited you to spend time with him every day. Imagine if your favorite actor, musician, singer, or athlete asked you to spend time with him or her every day. Would you say, ‘Sorry, I don’t have time for you’? Of course not!” –Rick Warren
