"As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said." (Luke 10:38-39 NIV)
Jesus is near. This is our faith.
Spending time with him between Sundays can feel elusive or confusingly mystical since he is not with us in the flesh.
Go to him – in your living room, around the dining table, out on a walk, in your car before going into the office, or settled into a spot at your favorite coffee shop.
Sit at his feet in these four practical ways:
- Worship him for who he is.
- Worship him for what he has done.
- Ask him for help in your circumstances.
- Apply his teachings to your life.
Respond to any emotions that come while meeting with him, but do not chase a certain experience. It doesn’t need to feel a certain way to count as meaningful.
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:41-42)
Jesus is near.
Sitting at his feet is good and important and necessary.
