Leave the Crowd Behind…

Posted on by Marla
 
Jesus spoke stories, to all who gathered around
Crowds stood waiting, wanting, but their motives, were found
Only to hear, not do, and so, God’s words fell on shallow ground
Knowing their hearts were far from Him…
He spoke in Parables, His truth He hid from them…
They didn’t understand when He spoke to them.
Will you draw near and seek to understand His word?
Can you explain what you have heard?
Leaving the crowd behind, alone in a private place
Jesus gave secrets to those, who longed to be embraced…
Longing for His truth and searching for His grace…
Oh, leave the crowd behind, and look upon His face
A special time, in a quiet meeting place…alone with Jesus
To gather around…not for everyone’s ears to hear
But for those He loves and holds most dear.
Parables revealed and mysteries sealed…
Invited to be alone with Jesus, what a privilege to obey…
To know and understand all that He will say…
Come away from the crowd and follow Him today!

Mark 4:34 New King James Version (NKJV)
But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
