I am reading that in the youth section of the WAR CRY. (12 January 2013)
“Kick-Start Your Day
At ………. Cafe.”
That’s what I remember of an invitation in front of a coffee-shop I saw a very long time ago.
Can I invite you to kick-start your day with God?
HOW DO YOU KICK – START EVERY NEW DAY WITH THE LORD?
Have you heard about the daily QUIET TIME, the quiet time in the morning?
True followers of the Lord Jesus Christ do two things during the quiet time; they are reading the BIBLE and they are PRAYING.
1. Reading the BIBLE in the Quiet Time.
I read the Bible systematically. I read right through the Bible, not just the portions I like. We must read the Bible meditatively. We are reading about Isaac in the Old Testament and he meditated on the Word of God. We must read the Bible prayerfully. The Bible is the message of the Lord to my own heart. We must read the Bible resolutely. We must be willing to obey the teachings of the Bible.
2. Praying in the Quiet Time.
What is prayer? Prayer for me is talking with the Lord Jesus Christ about everything.
We don’t only pray in the church.
We can pray everywhere. (First Timothy 2:8) We can pray in the closet. (Matthew 6:6) We can pray always. (Luke 18:1) We can pray day and night. (Psalm 88:1)
How many times did Daniel pray a day? In Daniel 6:10 we read that Daniel, the Daniel in the Bible, prayed three times a day.
If you kick-start every day with God you will soon kick-start every year with God.
