When the World Rushes On...


In clamor and confusion the world rushes around seeking meaning —
scheduled, over-scheduled breathless quest.

We remember Jesus after the crowds — “…he would withdraw
to deserted places and pray.”  (Luke 5:16)

How he must have been strengthened,comforted and fed by this time alone with God.
What we long for is some quiet, some time of rest to hear God’s word for us
in the solitude, to trust God’s grace in our midst — so we might be saved,
so we might be strengthened.
