*DAILY DEW 28/JUNE/2025* *KNOWING WHEN TO RETREAT* _Key Bible Text:_ *"But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea, And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and [from] beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him."* (Mark 3: 7-8) _Bible Insight_ Jesus withdrew from the Pharisees' hostility, demonstrating the importance of recognizing when to step back and prioritize one's well-being and mission. Choose your battles wisely. Leave the noise and criticism and negative energy and retreat to your own place of strength and core assignment. Seek alignment with God and His purpose and not acceptance of men. Jesus' withdrawal allowed Him to refocus on His core assignment: preaching, teaching, and healing. This emphasizes the need to prioritize one's primary objectives. Despite the Pharisees' opposition, people from various regions flocked to Jesus, drawn by His teachings and miracles. This highlights the power of authenticity and the impact of one's work. _Key Lessons to Apply:_ - *Recognize boundaries*: Know when to set limits and prioritize self-care. Don't dissipate your energy over every conflict, criticism or controversy. - *Stay focused*: Refocus on core objectives and priorities. Stay true to your mission. Leave the noise and distractions. - *Authenticity attracts*: Be genuine and true to your purpose, and people will be drawn to it. - *Persevere despite opposition*: Continue sharing your message and serving others, even in the face of challenges. _MEDITATION:_ *"Normalize staying on course in the midst of chaotic distractions. Those who are going somewhere do not worry over every conflict or perceived enemy. Save your energy for the main reason of your existence* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_June,2025* ❤ *Facebook Link:* https://www.facebook.com/share/1ZXrcgLmwm/ Please follow *David Joshua Egbochuo* on Facebook for more positive impact contents.
