Day 2: Sitting at the feet of Jesus

Scripture:

• Luke 10:38-42 Jesus continued from there toward Jerusalem and came to another village. Martha, a resident of that village, welcomed Jesus into her home. Her sister, Mary, went and sat at Jesus’ feet, listening to Him teach. Meanwhile Martha was anxious about all the hospitality arrangements. 

Martha (interrupting Jesus): Lord, why don’t You care that my sister is leaving me to do all the work by myself? Tell her to get over here and help me.
 
Jesus: Oh Martha, Martha, you are so anxious and concerned about a million details, but really, only one thing matters. Mary has chosen that one thing, and I won’t take it away from her.

Consider:

• Consider adding a journal to your morning time to jot down thoughts, insights and prayers.

• What was the core difference between Mary and Martha?

• What are some of the anxieties you are concerned about that are keeping you from the presence of Jesus?

• What is a specific way you can be more like Mary today?

Prayer focus:

• Is there anything you feel the need to confess to the Lord? Take some time to do that now. If you aren’t sure, ask the Lord to bring it to mind.
• Pray for your immediate family members.
• Take one minute to praise God for whatever comes to mind.
