God First Challenge: Day 6-Find Your Solitary Place




Day 6 Challenge:  Find your Solitary Place

Day 6 Scripture: “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

So now you’re up and have your routine which hopefully involves spending some time with God so now that you have your Bible in hand where are you going to read it?
 
 

The Bible says Jesus found a solitary place: a place where He could be alone; a place where it was quiet and peaceful.   No TV, no cell phones, no other distractions just you and God.  For me that is sometimes my swing or sometimes a chair but always somewhere on my front porch. First of all there’s just something about being outside.  Something about seeing God’s power in the sunrise just makes it a little easier to feel His presence.  Secondly, I’m just a sucker for a front porch. If the world had a front porch, right?  Or even if more people had front porches and used them like they used to…but that’s another post.

 
 
Find a place where you’re comfortable…

A place where you won’t be easily distracted…

A place where God can fill you up and prepare you for your day…

Maybe the porch, a closet, a spare room, that favorite comfy chair, inside or out…
Where’s your solitary place?
