December 15, 2022: Mark 6:31

“And He [Jesus] said to them, ‘Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.’” - Mark 6:31

Jesus loved His disciples then, and He loves His disciples now. He took care of them and knew when they needed rest. Jesus cares not only for our spiritual needs but also our physical needs.

When we rest our earthly bodies and meditate on God’s word, it refreshes our heart in the Lord. Life in this world is difficult, even for believers in Christ, perhaps more so because we walk in darkness, shining His light among the mockers and scoffers, as in the days of Noah.

Let us not grow weary and remember to take time to rest in Him, letting His Holy Spirit revive us and prepare us for another day of sharing the good news of Jesus the Christ, Emmanuel, God with us. ✝️
