“Let Me see thy countenance, let Me hear thy voice.” Song of Solomon 2:14.
Solitude is of the deepest importance, because it is then that the soul renews its acquaintance with Him who only has entrance into our most solitary retreats. When we are thoroughly alone for Himself, He delights to be our Visitor. It is a good thing to habituate oneself to sit before the Lord. It may appear to be wasted time to some, yet it is only as we do this that we are prepared for service to Him.
