Solitude

“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.” (David; Psalm 23:1-3)

Solitude. To be alone. To be in silence. To invite God to your premises and savor in the silence of worship.

 Have you ever wanted to be just left alone? To just go to your room or the roof or the gardens or anywhere at all simply to sit in silence and contemplate your sins, mistakes, and life in general? 

Spending quality time with God is one of the important aspects in life. It is a treat; a sweet moment in which you can speak to your father and admit your wrongdoings and apologize for your sins. Being alone with him gives your time to reflect upon your life, it gives you time to pray and it gives him the opportunity to work his holiness and power deep within you and root in in your heart. 

Do not ever mistake solitude for loneliness. When you are in solitude, you are NOT ALONE, God is with you, in mind and spirit. He is there, to answer your calls of distress, to take care of you, to cherish you, to work within you. 

In order for Christ to work within us, we must set aside some alone time with God, 10 minutes will be enough, spend 10 minutes a day, to pray, worship, read verses, or to simply sit and have a small talk with God.

In order for God to work in us properly, we must spend time with him, some time to pray and worship him, to read the bible, to take his word in.

Which is why we have to take a moment, be silent and savor the solitary pleasure of his presence.

“I was silent and still… my anguish increased. My heart grew hot within me… I meditated… Show me, O Lord… how fleeting is my life… Each man’s life is but a breath. Selah.” (Ps. 39:2-5)
