Everyone needs time off.  It is a fact of living.  If it is taken to fix things around the house, visit old friends or family, or just to stop and breathe, time of rest is needed.  Life after all is difficult and sometimes just crazy.  We need time to walk away and regroup.

 

Jesus did this quite often in the Gospels.  He would go to a solitary place and pray.  He would go into the mountains and pray.  He would get away.  But Jesus did not just got away to be alone, he got away to be with His Father. 

 

Getting alone with God is needed for one to live life.  Talking to God.  Listening to God.  Reading God’s Word.  God stated that if you and I just choose Him, spend time with Him, we will find rest and peace for our battered souls. 

 

I have discovered that He keeps His Word.
