Listening To God

Ever have those days where it just feels so incredibly good to sit at someone's feet and just soak up their knowledge and wisdom. Maybe for you it is a grandparent or a parent or a pastor. Well today has been one of those days for me where I just wanna soak up some knowledge and wisdom from my creator Jesus. Mark 10:38-42~ 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 feet of Jesus listening to what he had to say. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" "Martha, Martha the Lord answered ,"you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

So this is wow another excellent life changing scripture found in the bible. Why I chose this verse for my blog today is because it truly is amazing and it surpasses all your worries and doubts and just lets you soak up Jesus. So what amazed me by this passage is that Mary was the one quietly sitting at Jesus's feet just soaking him up. It brings me to a wonderful image. I have a friend who is somewhat very quiet and calm and laid back, I just picture Mary the same way she knows that nothing is to worry and that she just pressed into Jesus with all of her heart and he gave her knowledge that she would hold onto forever. Martha on the other hand is alot like me I am always wanting to rush rush rush. But that never works for when God is whispering to you. I am guilty of it for sure I can get so caught up with prepraring my heart that is a mess trying to clean it up without Jesus. And I forget that Jesus is sitting just like 8 feet away just waiting for me to sit at his feet. And after I sit at Jesus's feet he comes and cleans out my heart for me and it is alot easier work for him than it is for me. Today is the encounter and I am really excitted to see how God is going to work and move in my life I hope this encouraged you to take time today and just soak up Jesus. Because when you take time out of your busy bustling day Jesus will be soooo incredibly faithful and will meet with you. And take time to listen to his whispering gentle voice it really does sooth your soul and heart and mind. God Bless you all :)
