Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night into prayer to God. Luke 6:12

 

Yesterday I had the pleasure to get away and ride up to the North GA Mountains. The weather was just perfect and the trees were in the middle stages of their fall colors.  The ride took a few hours, but it was well worth it! Seeing God’s beautiful creation at work helped take my mind off the challenges of life and simply be in awe.

 

Let’s face it, living life is a challenge. There are daily struggles that we face which add weight to our plate. After while all we focus on is trying to keep that plate of life full and up off the ground. I strongly encourage you to step away from life, for a brief while, and go to a place of solitude where you can see the beauty of God. Jesus did just that, He oftentimes would step away from the crowds and pray to God. He knew the secret to keeping His focus….prayer, talking to God and seeing His mighty works.

 

How about it friend? Need just a short break from it all? Why don’t today you simply pick a destination that is an hour from home and go there. Just you and God….maybe a loved one….and take time to focus on God and see His beauty at work. Take Jesus advice, step away and come into His presence for renewal of spirit and communicate with God…thanking Him for all He has done in your life! God will bless you for taking time with Him! Have a blessed Sunday friend!
