Ecclesiastes
4:6 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail
and vexation of spirit.
Are
you lonely? Been jack booted out the door of the church house? It is at times
like this that you find out how very precious your Savior is. You cannot wear
out his love and patience my friend.
Mark
6:31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place,
and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure
so much as to eat.
Henceforth
I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but
I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have
made known unto you. John 15:15
Adam
was created to have fellowship with God, and God clearly craved that fellowship
with the man and woman he made in his image.
So,
where did God go to find fellowship with Adam?
Answer:
Where Adam worked.
Genesis
2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man
whom he had formed.
Genesis
2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress
it and to keep it.
Adam
was God's gardener. God liked his garden, but he created it needing a man to dress
it and keep it. Work was not given to man after sin but the other way around.
And, God came to the garden looking for his gardener.
Genesis
3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool
of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD
God amongst the trees of the garden.
So,
God may be very close to you on the mountain top, or when you are alone in a quiet
place where men is nowhere around. That is often the special quiet place where
we tend to find God by getting away from our work.
But,
and this should help you working men, God well be waiting for you on Monday morning
at the office because he wants some fellowship with his friend. Would you know
he was just as much there as he was on the mountain top?
So,
this page is dark, as are all of the pages in the Quiet Place. The reason is because
a dark study seems to me to be a great alternative to the rest of the web with
its glitter and glare. And, we hope that you are moved here, no matter where you
are actually sitting, to feel that your friend, God Almighty, is right there with
you.
God
craves fellowship with YOU.

Acts
28:15 And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet
us as far as Appii forum, and the three taverns: whom when Paul saw,
he thanked God, and took courage.
"We
can easily manage if we will only take, each day, and the burden appointed
to it. But the load will be too heavy for us if we carry yesterday's
burden over again today, and then add the burden of the morrow before
we are required to bear it." John
Newton

I
am getting very little mail from this section of our journal.
I
would dearly love to hear from anyone who stops here and is blessed and helped.
You
need to believe that there is NO section more important to me, in this journal,
than the Quiet Place.
