I was at a Target store the other day, ....my wife considers it relaxing and pleasant to stroll through a store and view merchandise....I'm usually o.k. with that as long as we don't actually buy anything!... We often make extravagant plans and shopping list of all the things that we would like to purchase in the future...my wife wandered off and I had a thought...
I was looking at all the music c.d.'s..video games..movies..magazines
aisles and aisles of plastic and metal
all designed to entertain and distract us...to keep us busy ...and to make them money..when we should be doing other things...remember that thing called rest...how about prayer..and reading God's word?
In my mind I pictured the aisles and walls all going away and suddenly I was alone ...in my hearts voice I said "Jesus, its you I need and it's you I love, help me to never forget you, no matter how much you bless me"
Jesus fought to get away..... to be with the Father also ...the scriptures tell us so (Luke 4:42) ...and if Jesus did it in His day shouldn't we do so today?
Godspeed
