Scripture

38 And he arose and left the synagogue and entered Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they appealed to him on her behalf. 39 And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose and began to serve them. 40 Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them. 41 And demons also came out of many, crying, You are the Son of God! But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ. 42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desolate place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them, 43 but he said to them, I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose. 44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

Observation

Jesus was waiting for the right time to reveal who He is by rebuking demons. Also, stay away from busy and hectic personal life to go a desolate place. Then, He started to preach the gospel to all over Judea, which He was sent for.

Application

Have to wait and look for the right time for God. Seek and focus on my personal relationship through solitude of quiet time. Lastly, preach the good news of the kingdom of God to everywhere to fullfil the purpose God given us

Prayer

Help me to be patient and be ready by focusing on personal relationship with God in order to fullfil the God's purposed for my life in God's perfect time
