Mark 4:33,34  With many similar parables Jesus spoke the Word to them, as much as they could understand.  He did not say anything to them without using a parable.  But when He was alone with His own disciples, He explained everything.

There are some pretty hard sayings in the Bible.  Many ask, “who can understand?”  I know for I have been one of them.  However, the Word of God was not written for intellectuals and Textual Critics, but for us, every day people!

Read (and listen) again to the last verse – But when He was alone with His own disciples, He explained everything.  Getting alone with  God, having that Be Still and Know time with Him is the Key!

We have only to set time aside, relax, breathe Him in deeply and listen to His Word.  I find a quiet corner, a place of solitude and bask in His ever present presence.  He will then begin to explain everything to us.  Have you begun your Be Still Time with Him?  Set that time aside – put it on your agenda.  You will always be glad you did!  Margi
