We have to guard our quiet time, or we will be pulled away from it through distractions. My uncle was slow at getting jokes. He told folks, “Do not tell me any jokes on Saturday night.” The reason was that during the Lord’s table the next morning, he would get the joke’s punchline and it was a distraction.

Moses had an incredible relationship with the Lord. There are some verses about him that I really love. I believe Exodus 33:11 was the key to his leadership. It says, “So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend…” Moses spent his quiet time in the Presence of the Lord.

Hebrews 11:27 gives us another insight. In the Amplified it says, “(Motivated) by faith he left Egypt behind him, being unawed and undismayed by the wrath of the king; for he never flinched but held steadfastly as one who gazed on Him Who is invisible.”
