Hello Everyone,

Leaders understand that times of quiet are vital in life.

· In the quiet we receive a clear vision from God.

He wants to speak to us if He can get a word in edgewise.

He WILL speak to us if He can cut thru the noise!

Nehemiah needed 3 days to hear from God. Before he begins the work he wants to pause and make sure he does it God's way, not his own way. Otherwise he will be wasting time and money.

Some would look at this and say, what a waste of time; he could have been 3 days down the road on this project. But it is never a waste of time to get alone with God!

Later it was proven that Nehemiah was miles ahead...because of the time he sat still!

"Time spent in prayer and planning is always recovered in performance." So don't rush in to your day, take time to pray.

You can't out give God. Give Him time each day and He'll give you more back.

Elijah found himself discouraged, needing God. He got alone with God on a high mountain. It was there that he heard a mighty wind. But God was not in the wind. And a great earthquake rumbled with powerful noise. But God was not in the earthquake. Then a fierce fire swept thru. But God was not in the fire. And then there came a still small voice...it was the voice of God!

It is the voice of God that brings GREATER things!
