Bible Verse of The Day – 5-21-24

Mark 6:31 (NKJV) 31 And He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

Are we tired? Who’s with me today?

I frequently feel drained. From what?

From trying to be a light in such a dark place, being fought hard to make the right decision every second of every hour, every single day.

So, should we give up when we are tired? No. We must get built up again.

We find a deserted place or quiet place where we can rest, pray and allow God’s word to replenish our spirit and strengthen us. A place where there is peace and quiet, and we can listen and learn. Oh, how I long for my deserted place at times.

I believe Jesus is saying to us today, “Come aside. Get to that place and rest awhile. Take time today, lay low, and get quiet before Me.”

The fight will continue. It doesn’t end. And we need to be rested and alert. Discernment needs to be sharp and quick to pick up on the enemy’s tactics.

So, rest today, and fight tomorrow with the shield and strength of our Lord! Amen.

Psalm 28:7 (NKJV) 7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.
