Luke 6.1-26-It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God.
Genesis 3-5-Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"--
Psalm 2-How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!
Proverbs 1.1-7-The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge...

Sarah requested pictures of Abe. She is hospitalized and healing. Going through a struggle. We all struggle together. Even Abe in the separation. In the struggle and before important decisions, Jesus would go off to pray for extended periods of time. I must trust in God like this. Go off for extended periods of time. Seek God's guidance. Look to him. Abe here seems to be comfortable. I think that Jesus even achieved comfort in times of struggle too with the knowledge that He and the Father are on the same page and the same plan. I must seek to be on the same page and the same plan with God also. Then comfort. Comfort in feeding on the tree of life. Comfort in knowing that I am not separating myself from God but following Him. I will take refuge in Him. In this is the beginning of knowledge...the fear of the Lord. Fear in such a way that separation from Him brings sin and death but following him brings life. Then rest like Abe in the comfort that all God has planned, I will do.

Lord, I pray to you---I seek your plan---I trust in you alone---You are God. ---Amen
