Every time the Lord Jesus was to enter more deeply into His saving mission, he went off to a quite place where he could be still and know the closeness of his Father.  May we take some time and give some effort to being quiet and still with God today.  Maybe it means we’ll start the car on this very chilly day and then let it idle into warmth as we simply sit, rest, and are stilled.  If you reach out to the Lord in some way such as this, know that you’re longing and reaching out to God, only because God is first longing and reaching out to you.
