What if...
Jesus came to your home and you could sit at His feet?
Luke 10:38-42
Now it
happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman
named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who
also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much
serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister
has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.” And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are
worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has
chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."
Imagine…
If you had the chance to sit at the feet
of Jesus,
To look upon His face and deep into His eyes,
And listen to every word He had to say.
Doesn't the very thought take your breath
away?
I can imagine all the cares of the world would suddenly fall
away.
To do lists would not be on our minds–
Our focus would move from duties and obligations to
something bigger,
Someone much more
important.
We would have one thing and one thing only on our mind–
Who we are with and
the magnitude of who He is and what He says.
There is nothing else that compares to this.
When you read about Mary at the feet of Jesus, don’t you
wish you could trade places with her, or join her and receive the blessing of
those moments one on one with the Lord?
The account in Luke 10 transcends observations about
personality types as the discussions usually run,
But illuminates Who we need to make our priority above all other
aspects of our lives.
It is about Who we all should desire to spend time with
every day.
Mary had the privilege of sitting before Him—spending
quality time with Jesus. She made the choice.
Will we?
