Going away!

Luke 5: 16       ESV

¹⁶ But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.

HB London wrote a book in 2003, entitled “Pastors at Greater Risk”

Here are some of the findings:

94% of all Pastors feel under pressure to have the perfect family...

90% of all Pastors work over 55 hours per week...

90% of all Pastors feel unqualified to serve in the church...

And the list goes on and on. I would assume that people in the secular setting face similar challenges.

Let’s face it...It’s not rocket science to suggest that we all live in a very busy culture.

Maybe we’re all too busy doing things that aren’t that necessary for survival?

Even Jesus had to get away from it all to recharge.

For the sake of my family, my sanity, and my church family, I need to withdraw for a short stint.

I’m going away and clear my plate, so I can better hear from God.

Last night I went fishing with my wife. Talk about a great way clear away the cob webs, and see the beauty of God at work.

Let’s not forget to mention that she also out-fished me?!?!

What’s your plan for happiness today? How will you clear out your schedule to make more time with God, or for the people you love?

I’m going away to hear from God, and to pray. I’ll be excited to share what I hear with all of you, when I return...

Light Reflections will return on Monday June 6^th.
