When Jesus would miraculously heal someone, He would often command them to tell no one. He was more concerned about a natural interest than a PR campaign. Why did they seek Him out? Because He worked miracles and taught as “One having authority.” He was a real contrast to the way many leaders today think promotion should be done.

He spent His free time in prayer with His Heavenly Father. No doubt, His prayer time synced Him up with His Father’s wishes, not necessarily to gain more power than was already resident in Him.

We would be wise to spend time in God’s presence aligning our will with His. He taught us to pray, “Thy will be done” … not ours.
