Thursday Jan 28th - Busy with good things? Take time out regularly
Morning: Psalm 50; Isaiah 49:13-23; Galatians 3:1-14
Evening: Psalm 118; Mark 6:30-46
The saying, ‘No rest for the wicked’, describes busy people. What it meant originally, though, was that wickedness keeps you from finding peace (Isaiah 48:2). Jesus and his followers are busy with good things, so they are in demand ... like, ‘If you want something done, ask a busy person.’ When they seek Jesus out, even when he is trying to rest, he does not send them away. We can learn about how to deal with our own busy-ness, though, from the fact that, after they have all gone, Jesus still goes away to a quiet mountain to pray.
