Mark 1:37

Andrew Elkins Mark 1:37

And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.

When we are lost and confused we tend to go looking for answers in the usual places. God isn't going to be at the mall, or the football game, or the coffee house or the bar. God'll be out on the lake in his boat all alone, or in the middle of a stream swinging a stick. God'll be on the running trail, in the garden, or on the roof. God will be in a place that we can be still and know that he is God. When WE are looking for God we don't need the distractions of a crowd or shopping or other false gods. God will hear our pleas wherever we offer them up. WE on the other hand will probably miss God's reply if we've got our beer goggles on, or we see that one thing we just have to have, or the crowd is roaring at an awesome play on the field. When we go to God, we absolutely have to get far from the madding crowd.

God, our savior, come to us in our solitude and hear our prayers.
