RISE AND SHINE

Job 19; Mark3-4

SCRIPTURE - O=OBJECTIVE - A=APPLICATION - P=PRAYER

S-Mark 1:35 “Very early in the morning while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed.”

O-We are reading about the beginning of Jesus’ ministry here on earth.

A-Though Jesus was fully man and fully God…He still found it necessary to pray…it says:

1. He got up very early;

2. He found a solitary place,

3. And He prayed

What an awesome example of how we (who definitely are not God) should pray. Early in the morning is a good time we can meet with God before the distractions of the day, while we are fresh; seeking God to know His will for us today and to give us strength to live our lives for Him. If Jesus (who is fully God) needed to start His day seeking the Father…how much more do we as mortal men/women need to hear from the Father.

P-Oh God, help me to overcome my laziness, help me to seek Your face and Your will for my life every day.
