Refreshment #31

Mark 6:31
31 And He said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a lonely place and rest a while." (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.) (NAS)

Are you tired? Even while doing the work of God you will get tired. That kind of tiredness is physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Jesus recognized the need for the disciples to come away from the hustle and bustle of the city life and be alone. Interestingly enough even Jesus needed refreshed. You are certainly no stronger or better than Jesus. You need refreshing in body, soul and spirit. You may be so involved with serving others, doing your job, taking care of your home or family that you forget your own needs. The disciples were so busy that they did not even have time to eat. Take a break. Take some time today to refresh your life. Spend some time alone with God and let Him refresh you.

To renew your strength and find purpose in life it may be necessary to withdraw, be alone for awhile and find some food for your body, your soul and your spirit.

I hope you find purpose for your life today as you grow in Christ. May God bless you as your spiritual life prospers in Jesus.
