Get Alone With God
"But when you pray, go into your (most) private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret, and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open"- Matthew 6:6
Jesus rose early to be alone with God, but Peter pursued Him to let Him know that everyone was looking for Him
(Mark 1:25-26) " Jesus ordered the spirit, " Be quiet and come out of the man!" The evil spirit shook the man hard, gave a loud scream, and came out of him.
When you get alone to pray, it may seem that everybody tries to hunt you down. But Jesus sought time alone with God so he could focus on his purpose.
We see the scenario of Jesus praying alone and then meeting the need of others again and again. Jesus went through Galilee preaching and driving out demons. When a leper begged to be clean, Jesus touched him, and the leprosy completely left him
( Mark 1:39-42 ) " So he travelled all over Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and driving out demons. A man suffering from a dreaded skin-disease came to Jesus, knelt down, and begged him for help. " IF you want to, " he said, " you can make me clean." Jesus was filled with pity, and stretched out his hand and touched him. " I do want to," he answered. " Be clean!". At once the disease left the man, and he was clean.
If Jesus needed to be alone with the Father before He ministered to others, so do we.
**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**
