Alone with Our Savior

Mark 4:34

He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.

Jesus used examples of everyday life events to explain kingdom principles to the crowds.  Often the crowds did not understand.  His disciples did not understand either.  So Jesus would take His disciples aside and reveal the truth to them.

Jesus does the same with us.  He reveals His truths to us through the everyday events in our lives.  Much of which we do not understand because we do not truly understand ourselves.  At least, not until we are willing to go to Jesus and spend time with Him alone.  At these times, His Holy Spirit will reveal to us all that has been hidden from us because of our own spiritual immaturity or sinfulness. 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we pray that you will draw us unto Yourself.  Show us how to come to You to have Your light expose our weaknesses and open our eyes to the way of truth and life that You have set aside for us.
