Couldest Thou Not Tarry

Couldest Thou Not Tarry As I think of the night that Jesus suffered and the disciples He chose to pray by His side…. but they lay sleeping while Satan’s plan now was unfolding as Judas was leading the soldiers to take Jesus all because of lies. It was no ordinary day as you can be sure but one of anticipation for the tension seemed to hang in the air, and although the day was filled with Lamb preparations you just knew something or someone needed an extra time of prayer. Yet, with all of the noise and clamor of that busy city children crying, barking dogs and people begging for just another touch, “I’ll wait till later”! Cried Peter – You understand don’t You Father for I know You can see here is another man hobbling on a crutch. But there will always be needs we feel that we must meet but then where do we eventually draw the line? For we absolutely must take time with our Father God or how else then is He able to keep us so fine? Would you rather wait until you have lost complete sight of Him and then and only then fall down on your feeble knees, crying and wailing with a very loud voice “My God, what now is to become of me”? Tarry dear child of God for spending quality time with Him is certainly no waste of your most precious time, and He will come and fill and refresh your weary and overburdened soul while you hear Him say, “I love you dear sweet child of Mine”.
