This Week’s Inspiration Alston Johnson, writing about the importance of setting aside time for God:
“One of the permissions given in the Gospel this week is to allow, perhaps even indulge, ourselves to seek the presence of the God who heals, cares, and models intimacy for us. There is a modeling of balance between the active and the passive. That time away from self-justifying activity to be with God is some of the hardest time to find in life. A time away from what others demand from us, so that God can be present to us; that is exactly where Jesus has gone. Time away from the busy, noisy world so that we can put ourselves in God’s control”.
