4. Underline the key phrases:MH-SG 5.7

“All who are under the training of God need the quiet hour for communion with their own hearts, with nature, and with God. In them is to be revealed a life that is not in harmony with the world, its customs, or its practices; and they need to have a personal experience in obtaining a knowledge of the will of God. We must individually hear Him speaking to the heart. When every other voice is hushed, and in quietness we wait before Him, the silence of the soul makes more distinct the voice of God.” (58)MH-SG 5.8

For further study: If Christ, who was perfect, found it necessary to turn aside from doing good to seek quiet and communion with God, how much more then do we need to “come . . . apart . . . and rest a while”?
