Quiet times 
by Dave Howe
=======
Quiet times.
The other day when I was speaking on the phone to a friend about how quiet
it is in my life at the moment, about how it seems God is not speaking to me
much.
At the time I was wondering if there was anything wrong with me or I have
committed some sin that was keeping me from hearing God but this was not so.
I have since found out that there are many more out there who are going
through the same thing.
It's a season of Quiet - A quiet time for those of us going through this.
It's of God.
Many think they have be giving word after word - Message after message or
there is something wrong with them for we live in a world of pressure towork harder and harder - To be more productive and efficient and not to
waste time.
In today's world we are told to do more in less time - If we do not then we are
considered lazy - Inefficient and left behind.
This has become so ingrained in our thinking that its got into the church
and likewise we can end up do the same thing.
With this many feel under pressure to meet deadlines - To produce a word for
people are expecting us to - To earn our pay before God and man.
It would be so easy to perform to conform for there is so much pressure from
others to give a word which is more often than not out of season which is of
the flesh even if it does sound good at the time.
So let us not be worried by those quiet times - Let us rest in those quiet
times sent by God.
May we stop being pressured by the world and learn to be quiet when God
wants us to be quiet - For we cannot be on the go all the time.
And remember these quiet times may last sometime - Weeks - Months or even
years.
May we not burn out as many in the world have done.
For as our bodies need daily rest - So do our spirits.
May we learn by those quiet times sent by God.
Prediger 3:1-8
1 Für alles gibt es eine <bestimmte> Stunde. Und für jedes Vorhaben unter dem Himmel <gibt es> eine Zeit : 
2 Zeit fürs Gebären und Zeit fürs Sterben, Zeit fürs Pflanzen und Zeit fürs Ausreißen des Gepflanzten, 
3 Zeit fürs Töten und Zeit fürs Heilen, Zeit fürs Abbrechen und Zeit fürs Bauen, 
4 Zeit fürs Weinen und Zeit fürs Lachen, Zeit fürs Klagen und Zeit fürs Tanzen, 
5 Zeit fürs Steinewerfen und Zeit fürs Steinesammeln, Zeit fürs Umarmen und Zeit fürs sich Fernhalten vom Umarmen, 
6 Zeit fürs Suchen und Zeit fürs Verlieren, Zeit fürs Aufbewahren und Zeit fürs Wegwerfen, 
7 Zeit fürs Zerreißen und Zeit fürs Zusammennähen, Zeit fürs Schweigen und Zeit fürs Reden, 
8 Zeit fürs Lieben und Zeit fürs Hassen, Zeit für Krieg und Zeit für Frieden.
