Come with Me

Come with Me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest

" Come with Me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest ." Mark 6:31

There never is a moment without its duty; and, if we are living near to Christ and following Him closely — we shall never be left in ignorance of what He wants us to do.

If there is nothing — absolutely nothing — for us to do at any time, then we may be sure that the Master wants us to sit down a moment at His feet and rest .

For He is not a hard Master, and, besides, rest is as needful in its time as work. We need to rest in order to work; so we must not worry when there come moments which seem to have no task for our hands.

The next thing, then, is to sit down and rest a while.
