Sabbath Rest

Mark 1: 35 In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed. 


              Question: 

Could it be that Lent is a time to seek the “rest areas” for the soul?

This is a far different kind of rest than sleeping in!  It is a new awareness.

What are the things that give rest, peace for the soul?  Might I suggest that we find them as we lessen connection (and responsibilities) with the world—and then, reconnect with the Spirit?  Pity the practice of getting busier during Lent!  The Scripture records how Jesus went out in the dark to a lonely place—one deserted from human presence and activity.  There—he prayed, he connected with the Spirit.  Only then did he go out into the public arena and minister.  

Maybe the sign we need to obey is one that see alot during the day...
                                                                     but we only believe it applies to a vehicle!
