Luke 5:16 NASB "But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray."I went quietly and just sat there, no interruptions, no confusion, I even turned off my phone! Today's Word gives us some great advice when life gets too busy, too crazy, too confusing - if it was good enough for Jesus to do, don't ya' think we should do it too! Jesus went away to the wilderness to pray and I found myself remembering this verse as I sat at the waters edge. With all the distractions of life, all the appointments in my calendar, I needed to get away and spend some quality time listening to God. There's something about enjoy His Creation in the wilderness that brings a peace, a refreshing to your soul and you'll always come away blessed and refreshed. The key of course is turning off the world and turning towards Him. When was the last time we sat quietly with God?! peace, tom
