"The harbor of QT [Quiet Time] is past. Now, to practice His presence.
"For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
What a great illustration. Daily quiet time with the Lord is a harbor. As a ship comes in for the night with tattered sails, loosened rigging, and dirtied by the sea, so the harbor offers safe-haven, repair, re-tightening of the rigging and another look at navigation.
The simple process of arising early and communing with the Lord before the day swells is a harbor God has provided and we must choose to dock daily so we may proceed to practice God's presence.
I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in your words. My eyes awake before the the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promise. Psalm 119:147-148
Thank you for this great illustration, Sharon Kostal!
