"Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord's feet, listening to His word." (Luke 10:38-39)
Seated at the Master's feet. I love getting up in the early part of the morning and sitting in front of the fire, with a cup of coffee and reading the Word of God - the Bible. I experience a deep love that the Lord pours out into me, His joy. Every spirit warrior who confesses Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior needs to be at the Master's feet feeding on His Word. It is our life. Mary chose to be at the Master's feet while Martha, although well intentioned, chose to be busy.
Don't be too busy doing the things of the ministry without spending time at the Master's feet. God will redeem all the time you take before Him. Our lives will be greatly enriched by the Lord as we give our time to Him.
It is at those times that I fall deeply in love with Him.
Now I'm not going to write this and tell you, "I've got it all together, because I don't. I'm still working out my salvation in Jesus Christ one day at a time, but that decision to be before Him is so critical. We are weak, but He is strong and He will give us His armor and His protection in our fight against the evil one.
"But Martha was distracted..." Luke 10:40
The devil's goal in our lives is to distract us from the Almighty's presence. Then he will bring trouble, trials, or temptation to pull us off the path of righteousness. But if we seek Him first and His rightiousness, all else shall be added onto us.
That's why Jesus told Martha that Mary had chosen the the good part. Think about it spirit warrior. If you are doing something big and great for the Lord and not spending time with Him, it's almost that we are doing these good things on our own, without Him. Believe me, it's much better when He's in charge and directing us. Our success is in Him. Without Him, we can do nothing.
So take the time each day to be with Him and you will grow like a mighty Oak of Righteousness
