AT THE MOUNTAIN TOP

After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone. Matthew 14:23 (NASB)

Matthew informs the reader where Jesus went to be alone with His Father —to pray and be refreshed. If Jesus sought time and a place where He would commune with His Father, how much more should we. Jesus is fully God and fully man, yet He sought out His Father. 

Are we seeking time to be alone with God, where we can pray, listen for His voice, and take in His Word? Can we grow in our faith and love for our Father without spending time with Him?

What happens when all the noises of our world take over and bring chaos? We do not know which direction to turn. Life becomes disorienting. We lose our sense of balance and all of the plates we had been juggling come crashing to the floor. We stop in our tracks, look up and exclaim, “Oh dear Lord!”

Our Father is a good Father. He is there to pick us up. He listens to our cry of desperation and soothes our soul. The Lord is our strength and our shield; our hearts trust in Him, and He helps us (Psalm 28:7). Daily, He bears our burdens (Psalm 68:19). We just have to ask.

Find a time and place daily to meet with your Heavenly Father. Allow Him to refresh your soul. He is waiting to meet you there every day. He loves you and desires to care for you.

Thank you Father for revealing how You want to spend time with us each day and quiet our soul. In Jesus name Amen.
