THE QUIET TIME


Isaiah 40: 28-31         The Lord is the everlasting God…He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak…those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

  
Who more than today’s busy mother needs to “run, and not grow weary”, to “walk and not be faint”? For the Christian wife and mother this is essential. Prayer and the reading of God’s Word are her lifeline to strength and wisdom for the hours ahead. In this way she can have the assurance of His presence by her side and feel strengthened spiritually to meet the problems of the day.

Something will have to give if opportunity is to be found for his quiet time with God. Nothing should be allowed to interfere with it. There will be days when you will have to fight to preserve it. But what is any more important? The entire family will benefit from your inner strength and you can impart to them something form the loving source. Can you remember a day, however smooth the sailing, when you did not need a measure of strength, courage, wisdom or guidance? You will find it right there in God’s Word.
