Dear One,
The enemy will constantly try to draw you away from being and lingering with Me,
because he knows that in leaning into Me is your source of FILLING and REVELATION.
He will use any tactic to keep you busy and distracted…even doing good things.
Martha was busy and distracted with GOOD things.
What she was caught up in was SERVING ME. Yet, she was missing the choice part-the Most Precious Food. In her preparation of food she missed out on the Bread That Came Down From Heaven—the Manna.
There is a COST to sitting at My feet. At first look…it doesn’t look like a cost.
Sitting at My feet requires laying aside:
Agenda.
Time Tables.
To Do Lists.
and Control.
Mental clutter must be set aside.
“This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says:
‘In REPENTANCE and REST is your salvation, in QUIETNESS and TRUST is your strength, but you would have none of it.’”
-Isaiah 30:15 (NIV)
*Read about Martha and Mary in Luke 10:38-42
