Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - January 16
And Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights. —Exodus 24:18
The life of fellowship with God cannot be built up in a day. It begins with the habitual reference of all to Him, hour by hour, as Moses did in Egypt. But it moves on to more and longer periods of communion; and it finds its consummation and bliss in days and nights of intercession and waiting and holy intercourse. —F. B. Meyer
