Make Time!


Week 13, Day 1 Reading: Mark 1:29-39

Mark 1:35  
And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. 

No one familiar with the gospel record would ever accuse of Jesus NOT being busy. As his fame spread, crowds were constantly pressing upon him, demanding his time. Yet even in the midst of his very full schedule, he found (no, better said "MADE") time to be alone with His Father. My friend, there is a powerful lesson in this for every single one of us. Yes, we live in a very busy world. Most days all of us have places to go, people to see, things to do. The carousel of life never seems to stop. BUT ... stop we must unless we want to fall apart as the pressure of daily living mounts.

SOOO ... do you MAKE time to spend with God? Taking as little as 15 minutes each day to get into His Word and pray ... can be the difference maker in your day. And I am guessing once you experience the joy and benefits of a daily quiet time with God (even if only ten minutes) ... you will want more!

Thanks for stopping by . . .
