QUIET TIME

Quiet Time is important to Jesus. He heals the sick all day and night and he needs

�me by himself alone to think, to contemplate, to pray, to commune with God. And in

the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out and departed into a

solitary place and there prayed.

Jesus relishes this �me by

himself with God. It is a

valued, necessary, nourishing

�me for Jesus. Jesus replenishes

his spirit so that he is energized

and ready to lead his apostles on

to the next town. He is ready to

go to the synagogues and speak

with the authority of God. He is

ready to heal the sick, to drive

our spirits, to raise the dead, to teach the people, to feed the souls and the bodies of

the people. . . . .AND WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM JESUS TODAY? WE LEARN THAT

QUIET TIME IS IMPORTANT FOR EACH OF US. It is good to find �me to be alone with

God. . .to commune with God. It is important that we find quiet �me for reflec�on,

for talking with God, for guidance of our footsteps, for seeking peace. Jesus loves the

early morning. Jesus loves the solitary place. Jesus loves spending �me with God,

praying in the early morning in a solitary place. QUIET TIME! MY TIME. . .MY TIME

WITH GOD! Thank you, Jesus, for loving me. Thank you, God, for loving me. Thank

you, Holy Spirit, for loving me and for filling my cup with love. Amen ~Jean Gunn

Schedule is in the foyer

4 “I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and a�er that have nothing

more that they can do. 5

But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, a�er he has killed,

has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him!

6 Are not five sparrows sold for two

pennies?[b]

And not one of them is forgo$en before God. 7

Why, even the hairs of your head

are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12 ESV

8 The L��� is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

9 He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever.

10 He does not deal with

us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniqui!es. 11

For as high as the

heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; 12

as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. 13

As a father shows compassion to his children, so the L��� shows compassion to those

who fear him. 14

For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. Psalm 103
