Thoughts about quiet time: Over the years I have gone back and forth as to when to have quiet time. I do not think the bible specifically says that you MUST have your quiet time in the morning. I believe, in context, scripture teaches that we should truly live a life of meditation and walk in constant fellowship with the Father. And in fact, the christian life is about maturing closer and closer in this walk. I personally would rather have my quiet time in the middle of the afternoon or in the evening than to not have it at all. There is something special about the morning though. I must say that there is something extra special about sitting at the feet of Jesus first thing BEFORE you get involved in whatever the day brings. I find it is harder to bring myself "quiet" before Him when I set that time apart later in the day. However, Sometimes the events of the morning get going so fast, you just can't do it in the morning. Or at least that is often the case in my life. Better to have it later, than not at all. It's not about "law" keeping, it's about being diligent to seek truth because you desire to walk in victory. Verses for reflection: Romans 10:17 "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God". John 8:31-32 "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (my personal favorite ) :-)
