Time Out!!!

OK---it's Time Out!!
This phrase is heard many times in families with children. It is usually spoken when a situation is out of control and needs to have a quick halt brought about. In the adult world, there are times when we need a time out. Sometimes when we are very focused on a project or a set of circumstances. we need to stop, step back, to get a fresh approach or just plain rest and relieve frustrations.
One example we can look to is in Matt. 14:23. Jesus had just finished feeding the five thousand. Verse 23 says: after he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountain side by himself to pray. When evening came he was then alone. Jesus took time out to be with his Father to refresh and recharge his spirit.
After this time out, he went for a walk on the water to rescue his disciples in the boat. Read about it in Matt.14:24-33. Your time out results probably won't be quite as powerful. However you should have smooth sailing, if you include
our Heavenly Father and our Lord Jesus in your prayer time outs. Give it a try.
