Jesus teaches us the value of getting alone with the Father. On occasion, we find the crowds demanding a piece of Jesus. There’s so much to do, so many people to attend, and so much to teach. Yet, early in the morning, Jesus escapes to the quite mountainside – alone, undisturbed, and uninterrupted. We find Him praying to His Father. It is in this solace that life is reoriented and purpose renewed. The disciples want Him to return to the crowd, but Jesus knew He needed to move towards the next town. How long has it been since you’ve gotten away to be alone with God? Are you hurried, anxious, too busy, and restless. It’s time to escape. Find a still and quiet place to check out of your routine to check in with God. These quiet times help us refine and redefine purpose and priorities. He’s waiting for you in the stillness and solitude.
