Alone with God
This past Sunday at church, I threw out a challenge to our church. The challenge was to begin spending alone time with God each morning. I wonder if they have been doing this. I hope and pray that everyone has accepted the challenge and is being richly blessed by it. In this past Sunday’s message we looked at a message titled, “In the Secret Place with Jesus”, and we discovered that Jesus spent an entire day pouring himself out by ministering to many people. Jesus taught for hours in the synagogue, fought against demons and won, healed Peter's mother-in-law of a fever, and spent the entire evening healing the sick, casting out demons, and ministering to the entire town (Mark 1:21-34). I don't know about you, but that sounds like a very mentally and emotionally exhausting day! I know when I have extra busy days of ministry like that, when I wake up the next day I am completely drained, and the last thing I feel like doing is waking up extra early to spend time in prayer...
