Time Away For God

Hello, church family and friends!

Your house may be busy and full of people, or you may be having a quiet moment alone. For many, the past few weeks have been filled with noise and relentless demands.

Often, from the moment we wake up, we are bombarded with notifications, to-do lists, and the expectations of others. It’s easy to get swept up in the busyness and forget to carve out time for what matters most: our relationship with God. In the whirlwind of daily life, quiet moments of connection with our Creator can feel like a luxury we can’t afford.

Jesus himself modeled the importance of solitude. Despite the crowds that followed him and the immense weight of his mission, he intentionally sought out solitary places to pray. He understood that to pour into others, he first needed to be filled by his Father. If Jesus, the Son of God, needed to withdraw for quiet time with God, how much more do we? This isn't about legalistic rules or checking a box; it’s about nurturing the most important relationship we have.

Making time for solitude with God requires intentionality. It might mean waking up a little earlier, finding a quiet corner during your lunch break, or turning off the TV in the evening. In these moments, we can quiet our minds, pour out our hearts, and listen for His still, small voice. It’s in the quiet that we find clarity, receive strength, and are reminded of His deep love for us. Let's follow Jesus' example. Let's step away from the noise, find our solitary place, and connect with the One who longs to meet us there.

Blessings,
Pastor David
