I have been "too busy" to spend time reflecting and writing here. First, I was not feeling well. Then I went out of town. Then I was in a conference all day for a couple of days. Then I got behind in my "work". Then... do you see the pattern I see? Life overwhelms my resolve to reflect and write.
I wondered to myself if Jesus got so busy and so overwhelmed that he didn't have time to be quiet and reflect on the words of his Father. I can't find any evidence of that in scripture. Most every experience of high visibility and busy-ness was followed by a time of personal reflection and prayer. When he should have been basking in his success or capitalizing on the momentum of "his" ministry, he went off by himself and spent time with the Father.
Jesus said he only did what the Father told him to do. So, I have to assume God was calling him to times of silence and solitude - and it was important to the Son.
Times of reflection and silence has to be more important to me.
