1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace. (NIV)

There is also a time to commune with God! The time we each choose will vary. I like the early morning. I just feel closer to God when I watch the sunrise and listen to the birds (however I wasn't very thankful for them at 5:00 this morning!). If I don't take my quiet time before my day begins I never seem to fit it in. Taking this time in the morning seems to set the framework for the day.
Others prefer lunch time or even late night. Whatever time you choose, try to stick to that same time each day. Once your quiet time becomes part of your daily routine you'll be surprised that you ever made it through the day without it.
Experts say it only takes 30 days to create a habit. However, if you miss a day it's not a crisis...just jump right back in the next day.
So, how are you doing so far this week? Even if you haven't started yet, you still have time for 5 quiet times with God between now and Sunday morning!
