There were two favored spots in the life of our Lord – the mountain and the sea. Paul was a man of the cities and that was well for the spreading of the gospel required of such a man in the great centers of crowded humanity. But our model, our example, set us the perfect pattern and pace in the gait of Galilee. He arose long before day, found a solitary place, and there prayed. He found both time and place for communion with God and so must we. Both are hard to come by today in this rat race – this madhouse we misnamed Progress. If you find such a spot for solitude you must pay a price. The places grow fewer and harder to reach, and a Christian must devise ways and means to find his hiding place unknown to telephones and committees and those pests who steal his time to no good purpose at all - and time is the scarcest commodity ever.
