Jesus
was becoming known. The news was spreading abroad, so that great numbers of
people were coming to see Him and to be healed. But, He frequently went away to
the deserted areas to pray – alone. (Luke 5:15-16)
Do you ever walk away from the crowd? Do you
stop in the middle of apparent success because you need to be somewhere else?
Because God is calling you to pause?
Jesus was not ruled by a schedule. Often, at
critical times, He would go the opposite direction from where reason alone may
have taken Him. God’s direction may send you to a quiet place to pray and
reflect at what seems to be an inopportune time. He may want you to spend time
in a different place or with other people, so that He can speak to you through
what you see and hear there. It may be that your people need for you to be
absent at a critical time, so that they will be more able to allow God to help
them grow. Whatever the reason, whatever God’s call, don’t ignore His call and pursue
what appears to be best simply because reason and judgment dictate that path.
Go to the right place, where the Lord is
leading you, in preparation for what He will do in and through your life.
