"Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, He said to them, "Come with Me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest""- Mark 6:31 (NIV).
Our lives can quickly become hectic, our orderly lives become anything but, and peace can disappear like the vapor of a blown out candle. Jesus knows when we've reached the point of exhaustion in our toil and strain and He bids us to come away with Him and get some rest (Matthew 11:28). You may not even realize your immediate need or you may feel that acknowledging your need to rest is equal to failure. Regardless, if Jesus commands you to come away with Him, go. He knows you better than you know yourself, He loves you more than you love yourself, and He will take care of you. The work will be there when you return; work is never done. Quicken to His call. Do not miss out on those moments in your life when Jesus says to come away with Him...by yourself to a quiet place. That intimate time with Jesus is a soothing balm.
