Take A Seat
Scripture: Luke 10:41
Devotional: We can almost sense the love in Jesus’ voice as He spoke to Martha. Let’s make a note here that Martha did good. Martha wanted to serve Jesus, but she was distracted, busy, agitated, and she missed an opportunity to just sit at the feet of Jesus. Although active, practical service to God is essential and good, our first and most important task is a love and devotion that expresses itself in quiet worship, prayer, and fellowship with the Lord.
It’s easy to fill our days with good things and still miss the best thing. Mary chose what was better. Mary chose presence over performance. She chose intimacy over activity. Taking a seat at the feet of Jesus is not laziness; it is alignment. It is where our hearts are softened, our minds are renewed, and our spirits are filled.
When we sit with Him, we are reminded of who He is and who we are in Him. Our service flows from that place. Without sitting, our serving becomes striving. Without being filled, we begin to pour from an empty place.
Today, take a moment to pause. Turn off the noise. Open your heart. Take a seat and let Him speak. Because the truth is everything we do for Him should come from time spent with Him.
Prayer: Dear Lord, Thank You for inviting me to sit at Your feet. Forgive me for the times I have been so busy doing for You that I’ve neglected being with You. Quiet my heart and remove the distractions that pull me away from Your presence. Let my service flow from a place of love and connection with You, not from striving or pressure. Draw me closer, Lord, and help me to remain at Your feet. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
