Luke
5:15,16
"Yet the
news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him
and to be healed of their sicknesses. But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places
and prayed." NIV
"But so much
the more went their a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to
hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities. And he withdrew himself into
the wilderness, and prayed." KJV
Jesus spend much
time with the crowds of people, teaching them, talking with them, and healing
them. This is very taxing activity for anybody, even the Son of God. If He saw
fit to get away from the hard work and take time to talk to His Father, how much
more should we make time to get away to pray and seek our Lord? Jesus was our
example of how we are to live in this world. We would do well to follow the ways
He showed to us while He was here on earth.
Heavenly Father,
how humbled we are by the way the Lord Jesus always made prayer a priority in
His life. We tend to grab a few minutes here and there, if at all and continue
on our many tiring activities. Give us a hunger for prayer and communion with
You that we might spend more time with You and make it our priority. In Jesus'
name we pray, Amen.
