"Jesus got up and went away from there to the region of Tyre. And when He had entered a house, He wanted no one to know of it; yet He could not escape notice." Mark 7:24
Was Jesus trying to avoid people? No I don't think He was, His fame had grown and He couldn't go anywhere unnoticed. I believe Jesus was seeking some quiet time so He could refresh His Spirit. The world was demanding so much from Him and as a man He was limited. To me, this verse speaks of His humanity, put yourself in His shoes, no matter where He went He was sought out. How does God go unnoticed? He is everywhere so I guess the question becomes, do you notice Him or are You seeking Him out. Doesn't take long to find the Creator if we are looking.
Lord God, You are everywhere and are easily found if we are looking. I can relate to Your humanity, seeking that quiet place. Help us find You in the quiet space, help us seek You out so we can turn to You. As I live this day Lord may I remember You are never far and You are always there to help. I thank You for answering prayer, Life is never easy but with You to guide us, it is rewarding and joyful and most importantly peaceful with You by our sides. Fill our hearts with the understanding of Your presence this day. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
Mary, Mother Most Gentle, pray for us.
