The ministry of Jesus began in earnest, not with the glittering launch of a manifesto for social change, but with a retreat from the impulse to act. 40 days of nothing, but conversations with Truth & questions about being. Jesus’ apostles encountered the same ‘Pause’ directive right after having just been commissioned to, well… help save the world. “Wait!” He told them. Saying, something good would come from stopping, ceasing, not moving forward…just yet. In their retreat from the impulse to act there were many days of nothing, but conversations with Truth & questions about being. Maybe sometimes it’s good to just stop, to close down operations, to shut up shop, to refuse to do anything, except conversations with Truth & questions about being. To push ‘pause’ on life so that in questions & listening & reflecting & resting – a supernatural replenishing.
“They that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They’ll mount up with wings as eagles. They’ll walk & not faint. They’ ll run & not grow weary” -Psalms
