Jesus always holds our concerns foremost. No problem is too big or too small to share with him. This passage in Mark, beautifully illustrates the compassionate Christ, always reaching out to those that are suffering.
Amidst all of the good works, it is one of the most critical parts of this text. Jesus always balanced his time out in the world, with his deep silent prayer time. This is the most important piece, in my walk with God.....meeting him in silence.
How ever will you know
if you don’t ever go
into the deep rich silence
Is it to be boring
Is it to be bold
Where will all my thoughts go
Can I twiddle my thumbs
Can I cough or squeak
Oh how much more time is there to go
No dry bible passages for me no thanks
With my mind endlessly trying to have its say
I’ll bring the book alive
with my heart inside
God will whisper all it’s secrets
as though it’s written just for me
And when life is joyful, a melody to behold,
we’ll laugh, cry, love and find meaning
in it all
Me and my intimate love
And when life is painful and also deeply sad,
we’ll laugh, cry, love and find meaning
in it all
Me and my intimate love
Don’t settle for a morning service
when a whole new world is ready to
be open at your feet
Enter in my friend
and you shall find what you seek
the most amazing riches
that evolve from week to week
Great love will abound
and is so easy to be found
in the fullness of God’s eye
When heart and mind unite
then incredible peace is yours
this night
simply by drawing a breath
How ever will you know
if you don’t ever go
into the deep rich silence
