One of the key words in the Gospel of Mark is “immediately.” If you took the word out of the book it would be a couple of chapters shorter. Mark starts off with a bang. In chapter 1 we have recorded one of Christ’s busiest days. Read through it. Look what he does the next morning, verse 35. I don’t know about you, but after a day like that I would have slept in. The model here is that we have to get away from people and get time with the Father.
For the last two days, since Saturday morning, I have been sitting under a tree in Arkansas. My son John has been publishing these last few posts for me. I have learned that I have to get away from the phone, the computer, the television, people. I do not get to do it enough. It allows me to just be still. To thin, read the Word, and Journal. I highly recommend the practice. It is the best way I know to actually apply Psalm 46:10. You may not want to backpack out to the middle of a wilderness, but I would encourage you to get away from all the usual distractions and focus on Him.
