Remember to Rest...

 
I was just reflecting this morning, on how many times in the book of Matthew alone,
Jesus took time to pull away, step aside & reconnect with the Father.
He took a 40 day time out in the desert,
sat by the lake,
crossed to the other side,
away from everyone,
went up on the hillside,
and drew new to God in prayer.

It is such a vivid reminder to me that we need rest too.
 
And when He was worn out, and people were still clamoring around Him
(just like a weary mom with kids!)
and He could not get "away",
He still had compassion on them, and sought the Father's provision,
feeding the 5,000.

Remember, everything, and I do mean EVERY thing is at God's disposal.
The laws of nature, cell replication, multiplication, creation itself!
He can help you, providing exactly what you need.
Draw near to Him.
