The Quiet Road

READ: Mark 6:30-46

Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while. —Mark 6:31

Fifty miles west of Asheville, North Carolina, I turned off the busy highway and drove the remaining distance to the city on the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. On that late October afternoon I drove slowly, stopping often to savor the mountain vistas and the last of the brilliant autumn leaves. The journey was not efficient in terms of getting to my destination quickly, but it was effective in restoring my soul.

The experience caused me to ask, "How often do I travel the quiet road with Jesus? Do I exit the fast lane of my responsibilities and concerns to focus my attention on Him for a time each day?"

After Jesus’ disciples completed a demanding period of ministry, He said to them, "Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while" (Mark 6:31). Instead of a long vacation, they had only a short boat ride together before being thronged by the crowd. The disciples witnessed the compassion of the Lord and participated with Him in meeting the needs of the multitudes (vv.33-43). When the long day finally ended, Jesus sought renewal in prayer with His heavenly Father (v.46).

Jesus our Lord is always with us whether life is hectic or calm, but there is great value in taking time each day to walk the quiet road with Him. 

There is a place of quiet rest,
Near to the heart of God;
A place where sin cannot molest,
Near to the heart of God.  —McAfee

Time spent with the Lord is always time well spent.

Bible in One Year:   Jeremiah 22-23; Titus 1

[Mama_Bear]

Happy Halloween, Dave!

Did you record that "Fire in the Sky" clip? Really nice!

We got quite a bad storm down here Monday....lots of wind, rain and lightening (a much better show than the fireworks I was going to set off for JK's birthday!) ;-)

That earthquake was something too! Not bad down here, of course, but our son in Brentwood said it felt like the whole house shifted two inches in one direction and then slammed back into place. No damage, thank goodness.

It's been wild and woolly in California for sure.

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, jaycee! Glad you are enjoying the thread. Hope you have a howlin' good Halloween!
