Vital signs- Saturday, October 21st, 2023

“At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed. And the whole city was gathered together at the door. Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him. Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed. And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him. When they found Him, they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for You.” But He said to them, “Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth.” And He was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and casting out demons.”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭32‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Getting away from the noise seems a good idea, but in practice it is so hard to do! There are just so many things calling for our attention.

At sundown Jesus heals the sick and casts out many demons. The next morning when the disciples awoke, they couldn’t find Jesus. They searched for Him and finally found Him in the stillness of the early morning praying in a desolate place. When the disciples told Him that many people were looking for Him, Jesus reminded them that He had to preach in other towns “for that is why I came out.”

Today get away from the noise! Spend time alone in prayer. Reassess your priorities.
