In Mark chapter one something immediately popped out at me; the term, "at once." Jesus does not delay...His ACTions are immediate. In verse 1:14 Jesus says, "The time has come." As I reflected on this chapter, I began to consider that any time we feel a nudge from the Lord to move, the ACTion should be immediate, when the Lord says the time has come to do something, the time is now not later.
There is something else I want to point out and highlight about verse 35. It says that Jesus got up while it was still dark and went out to a solitary place to pray. Jesus went out while it was still dark. He is the light. Sometimes when we feel we are in a dark solitary place the thing to do is pray. His light will illuminate the darkness, just trust in Him.
If the Lord is nudging today, do not delay. If you are in a dark and lonely place, reach up with your prayers and He will touch you. Remember the the man with leprocy in verse 40, there is no doubt that he was in a lonely place and as he kneeled before the Lord and spoke these words, "if you are willing Lord you can make me clean." The Lords Immediate response to him was and is the same to you, Jesus reached out His and hand, touched the man and said, "I am willing."
Lord forgive me for the times that I have may have delayed in my response to you. Lord , you know the hearts that are out there seeking you from a dark lonesome place and even now as I send this prayer up, I know that you are illuminating those hearts with your hand of hope now. I just thank you and praise you for your faithfulness and everlasting love. In your name Yeshua I ask and believe...selah

About Me
- His Delighted Servant
- My faith is what moves me , it is enjoyable, irresistable, lovely and warm with a sense of mystery. Its like a summer day with a gentle breeze blowing my hair, like a butterfly emerging from a cacoon, like a flower pushing its way through the soil of the earth, like a hidden treasure waiting to be found, yes it is my faith that defines me and I am completely content regardless of what goes on around me...My life with Yeshua is like a well written novel that I can not and will not put down... My greatest desire is to be used by Him to touch hearts without religiousity, denominationalism or legalism. One heart at a time. God Bless All from Shelli
