Mark 1:35;  Matthew 4:1-4

 

Do you like going to meetings?  How many of you have jobs that require them?

 

- As a follower of Jesus the most important meeting of your day is ____________________.

 

- Jesus demonstrates the importance of meeting with God.  Mark 1:35

 

         "And in the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there."

 

          - A quiet time is a set-aside part of your day where you meet with God.

 

          - Your quiet time (meeting) with God sets the tone for the day.

 

- Jesus reveals why it is essential to meet with God.  Matthew 4:1-4. (Deut. 8:3)

 

      - It is essential for you to eat bread (food) to live.  (Physically)

      - It is essential for you to read God's Word to live.  (Spiritually)

 

 

- A daily quiet time with God involves:

 

         - Praying with God.  Talking to Him and listening to Him.

         - Reading God's Word.  

         - Writing down what He reveals to you.

         - Obeying what He tells you to do for the day.

         - Sharing it with others throughout the day.

 

 

We are on Day 5 of 2025 with 360 more days ahead.

 

              I want to challenge you to make 2025 the year where you meet with God daily.  

              If you accept this challenge, your life will never be the same.
