Have you ever noticed that Jesus is never recorded as taking a holiday?
He retired for the purposes of his mission, not from it. He was never destroyed by his work; he was always on top of it.
He moved among people as the Master of every situation. He was busier than anyone; the multitudes were always at him, yet he had time, for everything and everyone.
He was never hurried, or harassed, or too busy. He had complete supremacy over time; he never let it dictate to him.
He talked of “my time” “my hour.” He knew exactly when the moment had come for doing something and when it had not.
A life lived in God is a life that masters time. One should see the distractions for what they are and center down (and truly focus) on the things that really matter.
