Mark 6:31 (ESV)
And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a
desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had
no leisure even to eat.
Isn’t it interesting how God gets ahold of us sometimes. I
was scrolling through some articles while waiting in the Doctor office I was
reading said, "Jet fighters take off land and are stored on deck."
As I reread it I thought "That doesn't make sense"
I thought. My knowledge of such ships is limited, but I do know that they are
called aircraft carriers for a reason! I went back and reread the sentence.
"Jet fighters take off, land and are stored on deck." Aha! Now the
sentence was clear. I had missed the comma!
Some of us are missing many commas in our lives. We are
scurrying around with our Smartphone, a daytimer, and a calendar full to the
brim. Our lives don't seem to make sense. We take precious little time to
wonder about life's meaning and ponder God's purpose for our life. Then we ask
why God has not spoken into our lives. His answers will become clear when we
add some "commas" to our busy spaces.
Dear Lord, help us
take the time to examine our schedules through Your eyes, and then, Lord, give
us the courage to cross out the extras and replace them with some
"commas". In Jesus' name, Amen.
