Exodus
34:2 (RSV)
2 Be
ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present
yourself there to me on the top of the mountain.”
NOTE: In context,
God was calling Moses up to Mount Sinai to meet with him for the giving of the
law. He was to bring two stone tablets, which he would later break upon
returning down the mountain. And he was on the mountain for forty days. So,
metaphorically it breaks down somewhat as a passage for quiet time. But God
does want to meet with us, and he does want us to carry something away from his
word. That is why I meet with the Lord every morning and I read a short passage
of scripture. I also try to write something down that I can carry with me
during the week. For my generation, the tools are there in abundance to do such
things. The Youversion bible phone app offers hundreds of devotionals of any
length in the "plans" section that a person can use to read a short
passage, and a companion devotional. There is no lack of Ideas or ways to have
a quiet time every morning in 2016. We need to listen to God. In many verses,
God calls us to come to him. If we want to grow in our relationship with God,
we must meet with God regularly and not half-heartedly. This is the year to
meet with God regularly and to transform spiritually. Don't miss out on the
greatest of all presents.
