Sit At His Feet

Luke 10 Part 2

"Sit At His Feet" 

Now it came to pass they went to Bethany to the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. This brother and his sisters were very good friends to Jesus. Martha played hostess by ministering and serving Jesus. But Mary chose to sit at Jesus’ feet and just listen to His Word. Martha was flustered. There was so much to do and she had no help. So she questioned Jesus “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do all the work? Tell her to come help me.” Jesus answered “Martha, Martha, you worry about so much. There is only one thing you should be concerned about. Mary has chosen to do what is best and that’s not going to be taken away from her.”

I wanted to keep this section of Chapter 10 by itself. Because I believe all of us allow our busyness to tear us away from what we should be doing. Yes, things need to get done. We all have things we need to do. Jesus wasn’t belittling taking care of business. But number one, we need to take the time to listen to Him. Study His Word, Meditate upon His Word. Truly seek His Face in all sincerity and earnestness every single day of our lives. It’s not about what we want or even how we feel. Let’s not worry about what someone else is doing or not doing. But do what He has put upon our own hearts. And be patient with each other. Pray for each other. Forgive each other. I’m so tired of how quickly people jump. It hurts my heart to the point of giving up at times.  

Let us love each other in Christ Jesus the way He calls us to and sit at His feet listening and learning.

Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!

   Scripture For The Day  December 19, 2023 Luke 19 part 1 "Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!"  And Jesus passed through Jericho. Jericho had a lot of history, even at that time. It was a major trading center and there was a wealthy tax collector named Zaccheus who lived and worked there. He heard about Jesus and decided to see for himself. But he was a short man and there were a lot of people traveling with Jesus and a huge crowd lining the street waiting to see Jesus pass by. Less than 15 miles away, Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. He was a rockstar. So, Zaccheus ran up ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Jesus. As soon as Jesus got to the tree, He looked up and said “Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.” I bet y’all are singing the song right now…I was. 😊 The crowd began to murmur. How could Jesus eat with a sinner like this dishonest tax collector? Zaccheus was so overwhelmed with the love of Jesus that he

He Restores My Soul

Scripture For The Day    November 14, 2023 "He Restores My Soul"  Psalm 23- Most of us know this beloved Psalm. The LORD is our Shepherd and we who believe are His Sheep. However in recent years, the label of ‘sheep’ has become a derogatory term. I don’t care. I am so very thankful that I am part of His flock. So, Baa Baa baby. Call me a sheep. I know that I matter to Him just as much as the other sheep in His flock. No more, no less. In His Word, His people are never described as lions. But as meek and dependent sheep that depend upon a Shepherd. I’ll take that any day. Because it’s The Truth. I learned this passage when I was a little girl. But no one took the time to teach me what it meant. So, I was always confused by the first verse” “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Why? I would ask The LORD? Why can’t I ‘want’ You? I Love You and I do ‘want’ You to be with me. It wasn’t until I was much older and studying on my own that I discovered the word ‘want” meant

Aijeleth Shahar

  Scripture For The Day  November 13 th , 2023 "Aijeleth Shahar"  Psalm 22 has David assigning this song to the director of the corporate worship stating it is to be sung or chanted by “Aijeleth Shahar” translated means by the hind of the dawn or “The Deer of The Dawn”. Made me think of how sometimes there are little songs for kids to learn and they often use the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” for them to learn them better. Psalm 22 is a cry of anguish and as per usual a song of Praise. And by the very first verse, we can read words that Jesus Christ, Himself, spoke on The Cross. Jesus often quoted scriptures.  “My God, My God, why hast Thou Forsaken Me? (why art thou so) far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?” You have no idea how deeply this verse spoke to me today. I woke up early this morning thinking of the word Forsake. So, as I type I am asking The LORD, “What are you bringing to my heart today?” to forsake means to abandon or turn against. Mak
