Now when Jesus heard this (John the Baptist was beheaded), he withdrew from there in a boat to a lonely place apart. But when the crowds heard it, they followed Him on foot from the towns. Matthew 14:13, 14
Lord, the crowds would not leave You alone. They must have wondered what You would do. They followed You while You were in the boat.
Thank You Lord for showing us how to grieve. You loved John. I am sure the crowd was all watching You….wondering.
You went off into the boat to a ‘lonely place apart.’
You knew what had happened. You could have chosen to change anything. You didn’t change anything.
There are times we too hope that You will change our circumstance and You don’t change anything. You had a purpose and a plan hard as it is for us to handle. YOU are there….You never leave us.
Thank You.
