BOA #9 - Time Out! - a podcast by Dr. Stan Ott

Does your life feel increasingly busy?

Consider this moment in the ministry of Jesus with his disciples:

“For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat…”  Now, that’s busy! “And he said to them, ‘Come with me by yourselves to a desolate place and rest awhile.’” Mark 6:31*

Notice the response of Jesus to the intensity of life’s demands was not to slow down but to take time out… not slowing down but “leaving town.”

We hear calls to slow down all of the time and perhaps rightly so, however, in the midst of a very full life Jesus knew that there wasn’t any practical way to reduce the demands on him except to take the time out.
