Notice on a slight format change:

Except for July 2012, these are mostly a collection of current devotional notes.

July 2012 is a re-write of old quiet times. My second child was born Nov 11, 1987 with multiple birth defects. I've been re-reading my QT notes from that time in my life, and have included them here. They cover the time before the birth and the few years immediately after the birth. They are tagged "historical." I added new insights and labeled them: ((TODAY, dd mmm yy)).

QT 3 Dec 19, 1 Pet 2:2, Why don't we want to grow?


1 Peter 2:2 (ESV) — Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—

NOTE: It is such a simple truth, but having seen the struggles most committed Christians (attending IDGs) have in keeping a regular quiet time, I wonder if we really understand this simple verse. A baby would dies or be severely malnourished if it did not daily drink its mother's milk. And yet, so many "believers" skip the pure spiritual milk of the Word. How can we grow without nourishment? Are we fooling ourselves? Is our "growth" fake? Is it all a show? If we are not in the Word of God on a regular basis, we are malnourished believers, barely alive. I can't think of anything that discourages me more than seeing so many believers who do not regularly meet with God in his word. We are so weak spiritually.

PRAYER: Father, open the eyes of your church to their absolute need to meet with you regularly. Please, we don't want to live hypocritical lives. I know we choose. Help us to see our need for you.
