Come away and rest awhile ... receive compassion

Morning: Psalms 63:1-8, 98; Exodus 28:1-4,30-38; I John 2:18-29
You plan to take time out from busy activity and rest, and you should ... but some need arises, and you think you should change your plan. After all, Jesus was going away for a quiet time of rest with his disciples. Then a crowd gathered and, ‘He had compassion on them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd’. Jesus let compassion lead. But you are not Jesus; you are a disciple. There are times when you must rest and allow yourself to receive the compassion and nourishment that Jesus offers ... receive, so that later you can give.
