Since Craig’s sermon this past Sunday, have you been thinking about creating margin in your life? One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was “Put God First”. I have found that applies to all areas of my life, especially in a practical sense to my daily schedule. Non-morning people will hate this next part. It is not easy and I am not always successful, but when I get up 15-30 minutes early and devote time to reading my bible and actually asking God to guide my day, a cool thing happens. He actually does! How great is that!

In Mark 1:35, we see that Jesus found time early to be with His Father early in the morning.

“^“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.”

This early morning environment seems to be the time when I am able to “Be Still” before God.

What about you? What environment works best for you to be still before God? Are you creating margin so that God does not get squeezed out of your daily schedule?
