Devotional  #21 is taken from Mark 1:35 which describes a particular morning in the life of Jesus that was more so, a typical day and a lifestyle. Very early he arose, while still dark, and went off to a solitary place to pray. This was a priority that he established for his day. He sought the direction of his Father at the beginning of the day. He eliminated the distractions by others, in choosing a place and time, apart from others. He chose connection with God the Father, before the encounters that would occur with mankind.
I recall the testimony of Missionaries to Africa Harmon and Beverly Schmelzenbach regarding the beginning of their day. They told how, early in the morning they joined together in Bible reading followed by prayer. In prayer they would ask the Lord for their "marching orders" for the day. Yes, there were plans in place for the day on their calendar, with names and places and even times all scheduled. But they prayed for the Lord's direction and leadership, along with giving God permission to re-direct their schedule. They  told how that on many occasions the Lord gave re-direction to His glory.
Have you established a place and time for your morning to begin with the Lord?
