Mark 1:35 NASB "And in the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and prayed there for a time."I had to get rid of the distractions! Today's verse gives us a great example of how to get rid of the distractions! Be sure to read it and find out how. The street lights are still on, the stars in the sky still blinking and as I look out, there aren't any distractions that can take me away from my time with God! I love people and interacting but each day I must start with my time with God. It's just Him and I, and no one else. I can lift others in prayer, ask for His Holy Spirit to guide my day as I read His Word and many times, I just sit and listen. Listen to hear His Voice in the quiet of the morning. I always walk away strengthened to face whatever the world sends my way. How about you? How do you start your day and get rid of the distractions that keep us from hearing His Voice?! peace, tom
