"Quiet Time" by Dr. Stephen Olford discusses the vital spiritual practice of daily devotional time spent alone with God. It emphasizes that this "quiet time" is essential for spiritual growth, cleansing, guidance, and conflict, urging believers to meet with God through prayer and meditation on Scripture. Unlike mere Bible study or sermon preparation, this time is about a personal, living encounter with God’s Word spoken to the heart. The message underscores the necessity of discipline, creating a set time and place, and maintaining an expectant spirit for God’s revelation. It outlines practical steps for engaging in quiet time, including waiting, reading, meditating, recording insights, praying, sharing, and obeying God’s guidance. The sermon highlights how this practice sustains believers spiritually, nourishes their faith, and protects them from spiritual burnout or failure. Ultimately, it is presented as a joyful, intimate communion with God that demands daily commitment and obedience.
