Mark 1:35 “Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, Jesus went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.” (NKJV)
Many years ago, I was seeking the Lord in the secret place. I asked the Lord to give me one scripture that I could hang onto for the rest of my life. The Lord spoke “Mark 1:35” to me. At this time, I did not know this verse off the top of my head, so I went and looked it up. When I read it, I understood why the Lord spoke this particular verse to me. Very early in the morning, before the day had even begun, Jesus Christ would get up to seek the face of His Father. Before anybody got up and started asking Him questions or anyone was pulling on His anointing, He already had his daily time of devotion with God.
He made an effort to get up and seek out a quiet spot away from everybody else so that it was just Him and God.
