Mark 5-8

The demon possessed man, Jairus, the woman with the bleeding, all moved in action towards Jesus before they saw their miracle: even Jairus' dead daughter was told to take action, "Little girl I say to you, 'Arise!'".

8 He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts—

To stop them relying on the arm of flesh, and compel them to be in faith?

46 And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray.

Night or day, in this busy season of ministry it seems Jesus took whatever opportunity He could get to be alone with His Father. I think this was the afternoon from the immediate context.

And as many as touched Him were made well.

Action!

whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.

Let us live to preach the gospel!
