Prioritize Your Time
Like Jesus Did

Mark 1:29-38 NASB2020‬

[29] And immediately after they left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 

[30] Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and they immediately *spoke to Jesus about her. 

[31] And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she served them. 

[32] Now when evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed. 

[33] And the whole city had gathered at the door. 

[34] And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew who He was. 

[35] And in the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and prayed there for a time

[36] Simon and his companions eagerly searched for Him; 

[37] and they found Him and *said to Him, “Everyone is looking for You.” 

[38] He *said to them, “Let’s go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may also preach there; for this is why I came. 

Luke 10:38-42 NASB2020‬

[38] Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. 

[39] And she had a sister called Mary, who was also seated at the Lord’s feet, and was listening to His word. 

[40] But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do the serving by myself? Then tell her to help me.” 

[41] But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; 

[42] but only one thing is necessary; for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

Luke 9:51-52 NASB2020

[51] When the days were approaching for His ascension, He was determined to go to Jerusalem; 

[52] and He sent messengers on ahead of Him, and they went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him. 

‭John 17:4 NASB2020

[4] I glorified You on the earth by accomplishing the work which You have given Me to do.

Seek God in the Secret Place

Withdraw From All The Noise
To A Solitary Place &  Seek God
& Be Led By The Spirit

Luke 4:42 NASB2020
[42] Now when day came, Jesus left and went to a secluded place; and the crowds were searching for Him, and they came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving them. 

Luke 5:15-16 NASB2020
[15] But the news about Him was spreading even farther, and large crowds were gathering to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
[16] But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray. 

Luke 6:12 NASB2020
[12] Now it was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer with God. 

Matthew 14:13 NASB2020
[13] Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard about this, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 

Mark 1:9-12 NASB2020
[9] In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
[10] And immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon Him;
[11] and a voice came from the heavens: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
[12] And immediately the Spirit brought Him out into the wilderness. 

Psalms 10:4 NASB2020‬
[4] The wicked, in his haughtiness, does not seek Him. There is no God in all his schemes.

Psalms 46:10 NASB2020
[10] “Stop striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on the earth.”

©️ Clarke, Adam. "Commentary on Psalms 46:10". 
"Be still, [stop striving] and know that I am God — הרפו harpu, Cease from your provocations of the Divine justice; cease from murmuring against the dispensations of his providence; cease from your labour for a season, that ye may deeply reflect on the severity and goodness of God-severity to those who are brought down and destroyed; goodness to you who are raised up and exalted:-cease from sin and rebellion against your God; let that disgrace you no more, that we may no more be brought into distress and desolation.

Know that I am God — Understand that I am the Fountain of power, wisdom, justice, goodness, and truth.

I will be exalted among the heathen — By the dispensation of punishments, the heathen shall know me to be the God of justice; by the publication of my Gospel among them, they shall know me to be the God of goodness.

I will be exalted in the earth. — I will have my salvation proclaimed in every nation, among every people, and in every tongue."

Let Your 'Yes' be 'Yes'

Do you feel swamped, overwhelmed?

♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

Swamped/Overwhelmed?
Redeem Your Time

Go aside where it's quiet and pray. Be calm. Lord Jesus Himself is our peace. He is full of grace and truth.

Luke 8:22-25 NASB2020‬
[22] Now on one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
[23] But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger.
[24] They came up to Jesus and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became calm.
[25] And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” But they were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”

‭Ephesians 2:14 NASB2020‬
[14] For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,

Sons of Mortals

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

Sons of Mortals

Psalms 90:3, 5-6, 9-10, 12, 14 BSB‬

³ You return man to dust, saying, “Return, O sons of mortals.”

⁵ You whisk them away in their sleep; they are like the new grass of the morning— 

⁶ in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.

⁹ For all our days decline in Your fury; we finish our years with a sigh. ¹⁰ The length of our days is seventy years— or eighty if we are strong— yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

¹² So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.

¹⁴ Satisfy us in the morning with Your loving devotion, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.


Ephesians 1:7-8 BSB

⁷ In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

Build On

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

Build on the Rock

Matthew 7:24 NKJV

24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock

25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

♡🩷♡

1 Corinthians 3:11-17

11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ

12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 

13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 

14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward

15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 

17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.


Isaiah 54:11-12

11 “O you afflicted one,

Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,

Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems,

And lay your foundations with sapphires.

12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies,

Your gates of crystal,

And all your walls of precious stones.

Footnotes: (1599 Geneva Bible)

• "Matthew 7:24 - True godliness resteth only upon Christ, and therefore always remaineth invincible.

• 1 Corinthians 3:11 - Moreover, he showeth what this foundation is, to wit, Christ Jesus, from which they may not turn away one iota in the building up of this building.

• 1 Corinthians 3:12 - Thirdly, he showeth that they must take heed that the upper part of the building be answerable to the foundation, that is, that admonitions, exhortations, and whatsoever pertaineth to the edifying of the flock, be answerable to the doctrine of Christ, as well in matter as in form: which doctrine is compared to gold, silver, and precious stones: of which matter, Isaiah also and John in the Revelation build the heavenly city. And to these are opposite, wood, hay, stubble, that is to say, curious and vain questions or decrees: and besides to be short, all that kind of teaching which serveth to ostentation. For false doctrines, whereof he speaketh not here, are not said properly to be built upon this foundation, unless peradventure in show only.

• 1 Corinthians 3:13 - He testifieth, as indeed the truth is, that all are not good builders, no not some of them which stand upon this one and only foundation: but howsoever this work of evil builders, saith he, stand for a season, yet shall it not always deceive, because that the light of the truth appearing at length, as day shall dissolve this darkness, and show what it is. And as that stuff is tried by the fire, whether it be good or not, so will God in his time by the touch of his Spirit and word, try all buildings, and so shall it come to pass, that such as be found pure and sound, shall still continue so, to the praise of the workman; but they that are otherwise, shall be consumed, and vanish away, and so shall the workman be frustrated of the hope of his labor, which pleased himself in a thing of nought.

• 1 Corinthians 3:15 - He taketh not away hope of salvation from the unskillful and foolish builders, which hold fast the foundation, of which sort were those Rhetoricians rather than pastors of Corinth: but he addeth an exception, that they must notwithstanding suffer this trial of their work, and also abide the loss of their vain labors.

• 1 Corinthians 3:16 - Continuing still in the metaphor of a building, he teacheth us that this ambition is not only vain, but also sacrilegious: For he saith that the Church is as it were the Temple of God, which God hath as it were consecrated unto himself by his Spirit. Then turning himself to these ambitious men: he showeth that they profane the Temple of God, because those vain arts wherein they please themselves so much, are as he teacheth, so many pollutions of the holy doctrine of God, and the purity of the Church. Which wickedness shall not be suffered unpunished.

• 1 Corinthians 3:17 - Defileth it, and maketh it unclean, being holy: and surely they do defile it, by Paul’s judgment, which by fleshly eloquence defile the purity of the Gospel.

• Isaiah 54:11 - Hereby he declareth the excellent estate of the Church under Christ.

• Isaiah 54:12 Or, jasper, or pearl."
