Bible Study
Today's passage tells us the secret of being successful and effective. What would happen if you were Jesus after your success? You might be getting more and more excited, thinking that you were powerful and wanted to be more successful using all kinds of ways you knew. You might stop to have daily devotion, less prayer time because you would be very busy. How can you have time to pray and what is the use of prayers if you were already in control?
I did such kind of mistakes many times for the past many, many years! I am trying my best to avoid making such kind of mistake again, but not easy. Because "pride" is not easy to deal with!
See how Jesus dealt with his success:
But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage of scripture we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"

What I heard from Jesus today is: More successful, more prayers!
What I received today is a warning as well as a reminder of the importance of our prayers, especially when we are successful and getting busy. I have heard too many replies when I asked some people to have daily devotion or to do something for Jesus. The answer is often, "I am quite busy recently. I think I can do it next year." There is never "next year" because next year you would be more busy!
Do you want to have true success according to Jesus eyes and standard?Withdraw to lonely places and pray more often! That's the only way to have true success because that's Jesus' way!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Lead us to be able to withdraw to lonely places and pray as often as we can so that we can be successful in your eyes. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
