“In these days he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.” (Luke 6:12 ESV)
It’s an undeniable fact that though onecould lead a well planned life, unexpected things do creep in often. Insituations like this, if not careful, it can open one to much pressureand confusion.
It’s good to learn how Jesussuccessfully managed his life in spite of a busy schedule. He was giventhe most important mission our planet has ever witnessed and he had tocomplete it within a very short time. One of the keys for hissuccessful life-management is mentioned in today’s passage given above.Jesus had the habit of spending quality time in prayer.
Prayer is fellowshipping with God.It is spending time with the Father. The Bible, in multiple places,shows Jesus spending time in prayer, especially in the early morningand late night hours.
It was this rich communion with theFather that enabled Jesus to successfully accomplish his mission on aday-to-day basis. His prayer life helped him do the right thing at theright time. Though Jesus was fully divine, he could carry out hismission only as a result of his daily fellowship with the Father. Then,how much more do we need to spend time with God the Father,fellowshipping with him and receiving guidance from him.
It was after spending quality time withthe Father that Jesus selected his twelve apostles and did a powerfulmiracle ministry (Luke 6:12-19). As in the case of our Lord, as youdaily commune with God, he will give you instructions, ideas, abilitiesand resources to do the works he has called you to do. And the resultswill be tremendous.
Take time to fellowship with the Father daily.
GOD BLESS YOU
