"And He withdrew Himself into the wilderness, and prayed." - Luke 5:16 KJV
On several occasions the Bible speaks of how, Jesus withdrew Himself to go into the wilderness to pray. The word 'withdrew' proves that there was a discontinuation of services that Jesus once offered to the people. This was a deliberate and intentional action. He would leave those that needed healing, miracles, a touch, a word, all so that He would consecrate Himself in the secret place.
Presently in the event that Jesus could pull out Himself, how considerably more would it be advisable for you do likewise? We have people that would rather show up than "remain stowed away"... all in the name of people need me." When will we understand that we can't grant a Divine being we do not commune with? Closeness and association with God are so significant.
You cannot keep giving milk to a generation that's banking on receiving meat from you. Great people that we call great today are continuously pruned and molded in the secret place. Power is generated in the secret place. However, we need it to be simple.
Never disregard your relationship with God under the supposition that help is service. You could very well demonstrate the acts of a God you barely know, but on that faithful day, your disciples will make it to heaven and He will tell you... "but I never knew you." Learn to hide sometimes!
