Passage: Mark 1:35-39
Directly on the heels of a busy but wonderful day of ministry, Mark records that Jesus got up very early the next day before the sun had risen and went off to an isolated place to pray. On its face, this may not appear to be incredibly significant, but we should stop to carefully consider Jesus’ actions. Despite likely fatigue, the Son of God made his highest priority that of spending time in prayer with his Father. If Jesus needed time alone with God, how much more do you and I? This morning, we will take time to think about the priority of prayer in our Lord’s life and how that should be a model and motivator to all of his disciples.
