I was reading in the Book of Mark this evening and chapter 6 has some amazing content but one of the interesting aspects of this chapter that caught my attention was Jesus had called his disciples away to a little retreat and was probably intending on praying. However, the crowds found where he was at and crashed their retreat. Jesus rose to the occasion and taught the people and subsequently did a food multiplication miracle on their behalf. By this time it is late in the evening. So, he sent the disciples away in a boat and went up on a mountainside to pray. So, Jesus dealt with the realities and circumstances around him but also did whatever it took in order to have time to pray- even if it ended up being late in the evening.
May we immediately begin re-arranging whatever schedules, people, television, etc to fit in prayer and Bible time.
