The Secret Place
Today's verse
“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.”
Mark 1:35 (KJV) · read in the BibleBefore the crowds, before the miracles, Jesus withdrew to pray. If the Son of God needed the secret place, how much more do we?
Solitude is not loneliness. It is choosing to be alone with the One who knows you best. In that place, strength is renewed, direction is clarified and the noise of the world loses its grip.
Golden nugget
What Jesus did in private sustained what He did in public.
