I found this interesting verse in John. The context is the calling of Jesus's first disciples. A couple of the first disciples went to the place Jesus was staying and "remained with him the rest of the day" (John 2.29). How often do I just "remain" with Jesus? How often do I just enjoy hangin out with the King? I must often say not enough! Man what a longing however, I ,ask for that desire to just spend the rest of the day with Jesus, heck more than that what about spending the ENTIRE day with my King? What joy, what blessing! Lately more often than not I will do lots of other things. Nothing wrong with watching a basketball game but it is all the needless stuff I occupy myself with. O free me Jesus from those desires that do not bring you joy! Free my heart from those other things that crowd in and take me from you. You are what I need today. Water and Jesus, Jesus and Water! My needs! REMAIN REMAIN--In the above verse I focus on that part of they wanted to remain with him the rest of the day. It seems to me their desire above all other desires that particular day was to be with Jesus. To talk with him, learn from him, O how it must have seemed so great to them to spend time with this man. Moreover they probably just enjoyed the time. So smile with me today as we spend time with Jesus, talk with him, learn from him. Alot of the other things we do can wait. We can't wait long to run to Jesus.
run to him!
