Listen

Mark 1:35-38
Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed. Simon and those who were with him pursued him and on finding him said, “Everyone is looking for you.” He told them, “Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come.”

Even Jesus needed to go off to a silent place to commune with God. It was after this time of silent prayer that Jesus had the clarity of purpose that…even though “everyone” was looking for Him…He knew that He had to move on to the nearby villages. “For this purpose have I come.” There are many voices competing for our attention…but what is the peaceful, loving voice in your heart saying to you? If you are not setting aside silent time with God…the Compassionate Source of all things…then how will you ever find your purpose?

Suggested song of the day– “Listen to Your Heart” on the Listen to Your Heart album.
