Rush to get up and exercise! Get ready for work. Call the kids. Get things picked up around the house. Don’t forget to stop and get the groceries. Life is “packed.” We are too busy to stop and relax, I mean really relax. Isn’t it, “you don’t have time for that?” But why?
We get in the proverbial “rut” and the wheels can’t climb out of that rut. No matter how we try to twist the steering wheel left or right, we end up back in the same rut.
Sometimes it may be prayer is the answer to deal with getting away from it for a while. In other words, just smell the coffee. Jesus needed time alone to get away from the hecticness of life and pace:
Luke 6:12–One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.
Even Jesus needed to get away, get out of the scene, pull out of the rut, etc.
Smell the coffee!!
