Daily Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Matthew 14:23, “And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.”
By considering all the examples of the Lord’s prayer life in the Gospels, we are deeply impressed that the Lord not only felt the need to spend time with the Father, but that He also, in His busy schedule and ministry, made time to do it.
We see how the Lord took control of His environment for the sake of spending time in prayer.
He compelled His disciples to go to the other side of the sea (v. 22), and He sent the crowds away in order to make time to be with the Father privately to pray.
Unless we take control of our daily schedules and environments for the sake of spending time with the Lord, our daily environments will take control of us!
There is no easy, automatic way that we will fall into a habit of making time to be with the Lord.
We must at times “compel” and “send away” in order to make time to be with Him.
Transformation depends upon our spending time with the Lord beholding His glory.
Therefore, we must cooperate with those mingled desires by taking the initiative to make the time to do it.
Every effort spent in this direction will be greatly rewarded.
The Lord Himself promises a reward to those who exercise themselves to make time to be with Him.
He says in Matthew 6:6, “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”
Until Tomorrow,
With a Shepherd’s Love
Pastor
