Scripture Struck @ Mk 1:29-39
Hectic Day
Jesus lived a busy life. It was all work. Action from sunrise to sunset. Mission from dawn to dusk. There was so much to do. But so little time to accomplish them.
Yet Jesus did not live to work. He lived to give glory to God. Whether he was healing or teaching or praying, his life was a constant offering to his Father.
His life was a prayer. It was a life lived in the presence of God. For Jesus, there was never a moment his Father was not looking. Every minute was a union of closeness and intention.
Despite our hectic life we have to pause and pray. This need is not only physical but existential. Our prayer defines our life. It gives our day more depth and dimension. It gives our work worth and and meaning. 😊
