Mark 6:31
Then Jesus said, "Let's go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile."
...So they left by boat for a quiet place, where they could be alone.
Today is a follow on from yesterday. Jesus recognised the need for us all to draw on one side and find a quiet place to rest with Him. I know for busy people it can be difficult but it's even more important if our lives are hectic and 'full' of things to do.
Notice He says a quiet place - not one where the TV is on in the background or the radio is still muttering in the wings, or the mobile is pinging!. No, He says a place where it's quiet, where you can stop and listen so God can speak to our hearts. The Psalmist says "Be still, and know that I am God."
Why not ask the Lord to help you make time to draw aside for a little while and rest with Him even for a few minutes? To be alone with the One who holds the universe in His hands, who has all the answers to all our situations, whose love and favour surrounds us like a shield, who speaks to us in a still small voice and allow His peace to flow into your heart once again before we start a new week tomorrow.
