978A: In Solitary Places
It is in solitary places that God and man most often conduct business which is eternal. God still does His greatest work when we retire for a time to solitary places. Jesus kept withdrawing to be alone with the Father and once alone, He prayed. Man in our age has no time for the solitary place; no time to recharge the batteries of his spirit away from the drain of daily activities. Jesus had to have it, and now Jesus lives in us. Therefore, He in us demands it, if we are to maintain that level of fellowship with the Son that the Son had to have with the Father.
