How Can We Encourage Quiet Times??

By Cindy Rushton

This area of discipleship has been one of my greatest priorities. I realized in my own personal walk with God that just going to church did not equip me to even know WHERE to begin on those daily quiet times.  I did not want my children wandering around in the same predicament, I wanted for every opportunity to be used all along the way!

In the early years, we trained our children bit-by-bit as we sat for “FAMILY” quiet times. As they became familiar with HOW to study the Bible, pray, and praise, they wanted to have “their own” quiet times. We provided them with the VERY best materials so our children could have EASY access to the Lord during their quiet times. This is our same recommendation for you with your little blessings.  What do we mean? I hope the following will help...

©       Little Children…Bible Storybook, Picture Journal, Music/Praise Tape

 

©       Little Older…Give a prayer basket or a prayer tote!  Include a pretty Bible (large print—boys don’t care about pretty!), a pretty journal (we suggest that you look at our MAKE YOUR OWN DISCIPLESHIP JOURNAL), a devotional or Bible Study Guide, nice pens, and of course, pretty linens!

 

©       Deeper Studies? Add to their library...A study Bible with concordance/cross-references/study notes/maps, topical reference (to look up things by subject), complete concordance (to look up individual words and all references in the Bible to them), Bible Dictionary (look up meanings), other Bible versions, Bible commentary by respected theologians, study book on the Bible or a topic in Scripture, Bible Study Software, Greek/Hebrew translation dictionaries, etc.
