“But even in our desire to be effective Christians, we must consistently be willing to retreat into God’s presence. Only in the refreshing of His strength can we find the resources to move forward in our service for Him. Retreat in Jesus before moving forward.”

Jesus spent much time alone with the Father. Often getting up early to go have prayer time with the Father.

In this age/time of multitasking and texting, many are never at peace. this is not good. It distracts us from what is essential .... time praying and reading Scriptures. God's Word is alive ...

Hebrews 4:12 (King James Version)

“12.For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

__________________________________________________________ Paul encouraged all hearers to go to the Scriptures to see for themselves the truth of what was being taugh to them. We have the priviledge of having the Word (HOLY BIBLE) in our homes. Yet it is the TV, computer, that gets the most attention. Scriptures say there is a time coming when there will be a famine of the Word ... read it while it is possible. books have been banned before. _________________________________________________________ "“Behold, the days come, says the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” (Amos 8:11-13 KJV).
