[1091.50 --> 1094.48] Now notice what he does in that moment.
[1095.54 --> 1100.30] But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
[1102.24 --> 1110.16] He stepped away from doing good to receiving good.
[1112.32 --> 1114.54] I'm not sure what that perfect balance is.
[1114.62 --> 1115.36] But Jesus knew.
[1116.64 --> 1119.98] He needed this foundational practice in his life.
[1119.98 --> 1122.42] He needed silence and solitude.
[1122.84 --> 1127.44] It was about creating a space to hear God the Father speak into his life.
[1127.60 --> 1128.74] And so into ours.
[1129.10 --> 1131.04] To reveal where we need healing.
[1131.42 --> 1133.62] To repent where we've embraced lies.
[1134.00 --> 1137.52] To commune with God about our deepest needs.
[1139.96 --> 1142.58] Last week Pastor Dave spoke so well on rest.
[1143.12 --> 1145.96] And this is part of the resting in the Lord.
[1145.96 --> 1148.86] As opposed to keep running in your strength.
[1148.86 --> 1150.74] Without ever finding that solitude.
[1150.74 --> 1152.30] And facing what you need to face.
[1153.68 --> 1155.72] This is often called a quiet time.
[1155.88 --> 1157.18] It can be in your house.
[1157.22 --> 1158.00] In your yard.
[1158.08 --> 1159.88] It can be in your office.
[1159.94 --> 1160.12] Wherever.
[1160.22 --> 1162.82] It's a place that becomes part of your routines.
[1163.58 --> 1164.80] Jesus said so beautifully.
[1165.36 --> 1166.18] Abide in me.
[1166.30 --> 1167.96] Abide comes the word abode.
[1168.04 --> 1168.80] Which means home.
[1169.22 --> 1170.86] Make your home in God.
[1170.86 --> 1173.14] As he lives in you.
[1174.88 --> 1179.58] One of my favorite verses is out of Psalm 23.
[1179.78 --> 1180.88] Which is David's.
[1181.14 --> 1182.32] The Lord is my shepherd.
[1182.90 --> 1184.06] Famous passage.
[1184.52 --> 1185.72] But I love this line.
[1186.90 --> 1187.46] Where he writes.
[1187.64 --> 1189.46] You prepare a table before me.
[1189.52 --> 1189.86] Where?
[1190.36 --> 1192.44] In the presence of my enemies.
[1192.50 --> 1193.88] You anoint my head with oil.
[1193.98 --> 1194.76] My cup overflows.
[1194.84 --> 1195.46] You seek blessing.
[1195.46 --> 1196.92] But notice where.
[1197.32 --> 1199.10] In the presence of my enemies.
[1199.98 --> 1201.22] There is God.
[1201.40 --> 1203.38] In the midst of it all.
[1204.00 --> 1205.60] We think peace comes.
[1205.86 --> 1207.22] And the lack of fear comes.
[1207.40 --> 1209.80] When everything's settled and right again.
[1210.08 --> 1211.46] Then we'll have peace.
[1214.32 --> 1214.90] And somehow.
[1215.16 --> 1217.46] Peace is all about the presence of God.
[1217.54 --> 1218.74] In the midst of it all.
[1220.60 --> 1222.70] Robert Mulholland said it rather well.
[1223.74 --> 1224.90] Look at this quote.
[1225.46 --> 1228.16] Silence is bringing ourselves.
[1228.66 --> 1229.30] To a point.
[1229.62 --> 1231.54] Of relinquishing to God.
[1232.04 --> 1233.80] Our control of our relationship.
[1234.44 --> 1235.12] With God.
[1236.76 --> 1238.04] Think about that.
[1238.78 --> 1240.90] How much are we trying to control God?
[1242.44 --> 1244.08] Silence is the reversal.
[1244.08 --> 1245.64] Of the whole possessing.
[1245.74 --> 1246.22] Controlling.
[1246.48 --> 1247.42] Grasping dynamic.
[1247.76 --> 1249.26] Of trying to maintain control.
[1249.26 --> 1250.32] Of our own existence.
[1250.94 --> 1252.66] Silence is the inner act.
[1252.66 --> 1254.28] Of letting go.
[1255.46 --> 1259.02] That is a radical posture.
[1259.66 --> 1261.70] And it is so counter cultural.
[1262.04 --> 1263.34] To a culture that says.
[1263.74 --> 1264.66] You do you.
[1264.94 --> 1266.02] You decide.
[1266.46 --> 1267.42] You control.
[1267.80 --> 1270.18] You can do anything you want to do.
[1270.18 --> 1274.66] Hear me well.
[1275.66 --> 1276.66] This silence.
[1276.82 --> 1279.10] Isn't about taking a break.
[1279.76 --> 1281.26] In your busy schedule.
[1281.52 --> 1282.52] In that silence.
[1282.74 --> 1285.12] This is about surrendering your will.
[1285.38 --> 1286.78] So you can know.
[1287.16 --> 1288.26] God's will.
[1289.34 --> 1290.52] Instead of yours.
[1291.52 --> 1291.96] Now.
[1292.64 --> 1294.50] Go back to those desert fathers.
[1294.50 --> 1296.26] Their.
[1296.26 --> 1297.58] Their go-to text.
[1297.58 --> 1299.00] Was probably not.
[1299.30 --> 1300.12] Luke 5.
[1300.20 --> 1300.82] The one I just read.
[1300.88 --> 1302.12] Where Jesus went to a quiet place.
[1302.66 --> 1303.62] Theirs was likely.
[1304.06 --> 1304.86] Luke 4.
[1305.24 --> 1306.26] One through two.
[1306.52 --> 1307.98] What is that passage?
[1308.10 --> 1308.80] Look at it with me.
[1310.18 --> 1310.86] Luke 4.
[1311.34 --> 1311.68] Jesus.
