Sunday a week ago, with my Iron Rose Sisters here in Brighton, I was asked to read Luke 6:12-16 aloud.  I must’ve been distracted when I started because as I read the first line “One of those days…” I read it with all the weight of having had “one of those days” myself.  I chuckled and then went back to the beginning to read the verse with more reverence.  I was at a Bible study, wasn’t that what I was supposed to do?  I got another line in and it only served to make me laugh more.

Jesus, most certainly was experiencing “one of those days,” but it was what He did with it that stopped me cold and reminded me why we’re looking to Him as our Human AND Holy example.  The story right before verse 12 refers to Jesus allowing His disciples to eat grain on the Sabbath and then Jesus healing a man on the Sabbath.  This made the Pharisees and the teachers of the law furious and they started plotting what to do with Him.  Yeah, I’d say that qualifies as “one of those days.”

So, with that in mind, allow me to share the entire verse (Luke 6:12).  “One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.”

On this Makeover Monday, may you turn “one of those days” into an opportunity to spend some alone time with God.  There’s no better answer.  Jesus, Himself, gave testimony to that.
