After six days 

Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain by themselves to be alone.

Mark 9:2 CSB

After 6 days of what? 

The last passage had Jesus talking to the disciples and the crowd. Maybe there's been a 6 day intensive of lectures by Jesus.

And now he has drafted these 3 aside.

I wonder if that is how the Spirit operates today, and drafts people aside.

They don't know what's ahead exactly, only that Jesus has called them away.

To something else.

And I want to be in that special group!

Reality is that most of us are in that group left behind. Mark, the author is. 

A word that has been placed on my heart over the last few months is "small".

It's OK to stay here with the crowd. 

The ordinary.

I don't have to be (seen to be) heading up the mountain with Jesus.

Our journey with God is our journey, keep walking with him, whether at some point He calls you, or someone you know, aside, or it's in what seems ordinary.
