FROM HE MINISTER'S STUDY.
BY,REV. 0, L. ROYAL
Jesus went aside to pray;°
This was His* form of refresh-
ment. Despite the fact.that we
can ' talk about "a prayerful
frame of mind"- our Lord took.
definite periods in, each day to
go apart for 'a,'little time"and
pray..
He found Power " in this
relationship. He** was corn -
=meeting with• God, His
Father. He was 'seeking new
strength for the great mission
before Him. With the Cross
looming, on His horizon He
needed "invigoration that only
God could give. The •human.
side of Christ's nature cried out
for the living Lord. Thus, a few
minutes, perchance an :hour, in
each day found Him in soiree
wayside 2,chapel of His ' own
'c loosing., . He was searching
that Power that would .see Him
through:.
You and I need those few.
precious moments each day. We '
can so easily go astray. We 'can
so easily build .up hostilities,:
thatwill not go away by man's
power alone. We can so easily
take on greater burdens than
we can stand and rumble un-
der the load So, refreshment is
our requirement. We need to
Knox,Pre$bAe(rian .Church
'steal away from the maddening
crowd and' find *our peace in
God:
Christ also, sought iden-
, t fication in those times alone
with, I-lis7Father. He needed to
know again Oat Hen was td be
the ' Savf a it of the world, He '
, did .not°wish to swerve off,the'''
path and lhjure His Father's
kingdom. Thus, He was to be
'assured again and again that ,
He was truly the Son of God.
At the time of His .baptism
the hea'4en,s opened ` and the
voice of God was heard- to
proclaim,° "This is My Son, in
Whom I am well -pleased." In
His humanity Christ Jesus
needed to know the Way., He
was to fol low. • •
So must we. We, too, must
have that identification which
. assures us that we are the
children of God. We have a
-destiny.We have a goal. We
have a Father in heaven. He
loves us*through all trials and
heaviness. He .knows the num-
ber of our hairs.'He is aware of
each sparrow . in the air. .He.
beholds the smallest things. It
is God,. our :Father, Who is
always saying to us,, "You are
mine!"
