The busy life often ends up neglecting
God. It seems our spiritual life takes the blunt of our neglect. Even Jesus,
who had thousands trying to hang out with Him knew the importance of just being
with the Father. If you notice what Jesus did often as He came into a new town,
He would look for the high or solitary place. Then He would go get alone with
His Father.
Do we as modern believers
think we can get away with less than Jesus?
Do we think a one or two
minute prayer will suffice in our busy day?
Or, do we forget to pray and
read Your word at all?
Father, convict and encourage
Your people. Help us to see our need and take the time to communicate with
You. I’m guilty as all are. Continue to
be our redeemer.
After he had sent them
away, he went by himself up into the hills to pray. It was late, and Jesus was
there alone.
Matthew 14:23 NCV
Very early in the morning, while it was still
dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he
prayed.
Mark 1:35 NIV
