Luke 4: 42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them.
The day before Jesus had a busy day. The people, believing in him, brought all those who suffered and he healed them. They want him every day, to relieve all their suffering, but that is not his mission.
Jesus had to move on, to visit other towns in Judea. His Father's will for him was bigger than one little town.
I would like Jesus to do my personal bidding as well. There has been plenty of suffering in my family, and I want it stopped. Jesus as the Son of Man could not be in all places to all people at once. As the risen Savior he is always available to me through prayer, although I cannot feel his physical touch as the people of Judea could.
Prayer: I praise a God who is always available, whether I am suffering or rejoicing. I long for the day when you are present with me physically as well as spiritually. I need you, how I need you, every hour I need you...
Amen
