Friday SHINE....
Today's Reading: Mark 2:13-3:6
Saturday: Mark 3:7-3:19a
Sunday: Mark 3:19b-35
Happy Fun Friday, SHINE girls!
I'll make this short and sweet so that you can move on with your fabulous Friday. :)
Our Fun Friday Challenge:
Go to the Father today, and talk to Him about any impurities going on in your life. Ask Him to show you, and He will.
We may not be aware of some things that have clogged up our spiritual filter because they have been there for so long. Sometimes we get kind of used to the dirt, unfortunately.
The next thing I urge us to do is to find a solitary place sometime this weekend to withdraw for a few minutes. As I read in Mark this morning, I discovered that Jesus was constantly withdrawing to a solitary place. He often rose early, left His disciples, and went to hear from God.
Perhaps that's why He heard so clearly from God? He had to separate Himself from the world for a bit to be able to hear Him.
I also noticed from our previous reading, that Moses often withdrew when He would meet with God. He withdrew all the way up to the top of a mountain to hear from Him. The crowds around him were often a distraction. They were yelling at him to go one way, while Moses was desperately trying to filter out the noise and listen to the direction God was calling them.
A very wise friend told me recently: When a big crowd of people are walking one way, more than likely Jesus will be found walking the other way.
I have found this statement to be so true.
Withdraw and meet with your Father this weekend.
Let Him purify that filter of yours.
a heart seeking purity,

"But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities.
But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray."
Luke 5:15-16
