Ep #13: Solitude with Christ Restores our Soul

Second Half Stewardship

Jesus, even though he lived 2000 years ago in a time of greater technological simplicity, recognized the need to take time away from the hustle and bustle of life and connect with the Father. This is evident from the nine times that Luke recounts Jesus withdrawing to quiet places to pray.

After spending 40 days alone in the desert Jesus was filled with the Spirit and dependence on the Father. Through that time, he had the capacity to take on the devil himself and walk away unscathed. It is in the place of silence and solitude that we can be refreshed by God.

We can work on this in our own lives and start putting into practice silence, solitude, prayer, and meditation on Scripture so that we can be refreshed by the Father. It's important to have a balance between work and rest, and we need to consider ways to make time for rest and solitude in our daily lives.

It is in times of of silence and solitude with the Father that we are reminded of His grace, love, and care for us. These times prepare us for our life together with Him.
