Your Open Word e-Devotional for November 21st

Published: Tue, 11/21/17

 Hello ,


"Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone..."  Matthew 14:22-23

Today may be the beginning of a very busy season for you.  With Thanksgiving this week, followed by "Black Friday" (if you participate in that,) and a myriad of appointments that lead up to the holidays in December, life can get a little overwhelming during this time of year.

Stop.

Breathe.

Pray.

Taking time out from all the busy-ness can give us a more balanced and peaceful outlook toward it.  If we don't have time to pray, we may need to reassess our priorities.  Jesus did it when He was at His busiest.  With His help, so can we.

Have a great day and God bless!
