ALONE WITH THE FATHER DAY 3

Hope you had a good weekend. Mine had an unexpected turn of events, but was blessed by the Lord the entire time! You can click here to read about it.
Now let's get back to the Word - for it is good & timely!
The third time in Scriptures Christ goes away to pray is found in Luke 6:1-16.

1. Go ahead and read that passage. Jot down a synopsis in your notes (aka the short version).

Christ had just healed a man and was about to name the apostles. Again, He goes to the Father. He does not call a group meeting and ask for input. He goes to the giver of all wisdom. I am asking myself now - how often do I go to God after I have done some part of His will? How often do I go to Him before I start to name people? Do I go before Him when I have finished something He wanted me to do? Do I go to Him BEFORE I make a decision about people? Christ did, why don't I?
I am sure you could ask yourself some of the same questions.
Christ took timeouts in His day and His life to be alone with God. Christ was alone with God when things were bad. Christ was alone with God when things were good. Christ was alone with God when important decisions needed to be made.
See by drawing away with God, we put the focus back on Him. If things are good, it is to His glory. If things are going badly, they can be turned to His glory. We will be unable to see that for ourselves unless we get alone with Him and talk one on one.
I challenge you today (and everyday) to make time to be alone with Christ Jesus. No structure, no time limit, no agenda.
Just you and Him.
One on one.
Have a blessed week!
