Amazingly, with such a full and demanding life, our Lord made it a habit to retreat to quiet places. There alone Christ expressed His absence of self-sufficiency by PRAYER.
Look at Mark 1 to examine a couple of days in His life. Mark 1:21 starts one of the fullest days of His life. He had just returned, Luke 4 tells us, from the attempt on His life by the mob at Nazareth.
Now, He heals and teaches all day, note the next morning, Mark 1:35. No well-deserved sleep in. No, His spiritual life reigned! What a monitor of our spiritual condition prayer is.
Without prayer, we run on our own course, in our own strength, and for our own glory. Through prayer, we run on God’s course, in the Spirit’s power and for the glory of Christ! What are your prayer habits revealing about self-sufficiency in your life tonight?
If you read the New Testament record closely, you find a reference to specific days in the ministry of Jesus. By comparing the four gospel accounts, we find there are 52 “days” chronicled in the life of our Lord Jesus Christ.
