QUIET TIME

As busy as Jesus was, as consumed as He was by His mission, as overwhelmed as He must have felt at times, He withdrew often to pray. Even when it meant leaving the physical and spiritual needs of the crowds unmet, He withdrew to lonely places. In those quiet and intimate times, Jesus drew strength for what He knew lay ahead.
Jesus knew that time alone with the heavenly Father was essential. He could not – would not – go without it. By escaping the noise of His day, JESUS established a discipline all believers should follow. After all, if it was necessary for Jesus, it is vital for those who profess to follow Him.
