Communion with God in Solitude
Take some time each day to commune with God; to meditate upon the things of God; upon what He has done for you; upon what He has promised that He would do. To do this satisfactorily, one must be familiar with God's revelation of Himself in the written Word and in the life of Christ. An hour of solitude is far from misspent time, if in it one has been holding converse with his Maker. Such solitude spent in earnest, sincere prayer will do more for us than any amount of theological training without it. In such solitude we are not solitary; we are in the audience-chamber of God. His ear is open to our pleadings, and the fountain of wisdom and consolation is open to our needs. It is our blessed privilege to enter that chamber when we will, and learn there the meaning of much that may be mysterious and uncertain to us now. We can make our times of solitude rich with blessings if we will.
