He departed to a solitary place, and there prayed

Monday 2021.10.11

My NT reading today covers Mark chapters 1 and 2.

I am reminded from Mark 1 verse 35 that our Lord Iesou the Anointed One has set us an example of rising early in the morning, "a great while before day", to pray in a quiet place. I learned to do this during my secondary school days, and sometimes during my university years, by getting up at about five o'clock in the morning to pray and to read the Scriptures at my study table, all by myself. Perhaps I should return to this habit again.

Mark 1:35 KJV
And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out,
and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
