Time
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens (Ecclesiastes 3:1; NIV).
Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile” (Mark 6:31; NLT).
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed (Mark 1:35; NIV).
Lord,
Thank you for the luxury
Of free time –
For the mornings
When I needn’t get up early,
The days
When I don’t have to hurry,
The evenings
When I put my feet up,
And the blissful hours
When I can be alone,
With you.
