How many of us wake up in the morning and ask, "Father, what shall I do today?" and then listen as God, moment by moment, unfolds our day? It's more likely that we wake up with a set plan or familiar pattern in place.
There is no suggestion in the Bible that Christ Jesus lived his life according to a prescribed, personal formula. He lived God's will. But if there is one "habit" he had, it was praying—listening to and obeying God. The Bible even records occasions when he spent all night or early morning communing with his Father before coming to the people. He let God prepare him to preach and to heal, to be about his Father's business.
Jesus said: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself." Matt. 6:33, 34 From all accounts, he never thought anxiously about his body or ordered his life around fleshly concerns or practices, but trusted God to provide for needs.
