Long ago when Africa was still relatively unknown to the outside world, a European explorer was taking a group into the African interior. He had hired a native guide along with a number of other natives to help carry the supplies. After a mid morning break on the third day of a fast-paced march, the Africans refused to resume their trek. When the European explorer asked the guide the reason for their refusal, the guide told him, “They just need a little more time to allow their souls to catch up to their bodies.” Hmm. I think all of us could learn a lesson from these guys. Just as Jesus would get away to be alone with his Father (Matthew 14:13; Mark 1:35; Mark 6:31) – we too need to be sure to do the same. As fast-paced as 21st century American life can be at times – we all need to take time to allow our souls to catch up to our bodies.
Thanks for stopping by . . .
