229: At The Lord's Feet

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of prioritizing time with Jesus amidst life's distractions, using the story of Mary and Martha as a reference.

In our distracted, worried, and upset world, Jesus offers a surprisingly simple solution: sit at His feet and listen. When Martha was overwhelmed with preparations and responsibilities, Jesus didn't give her a better organizational system. Instead, He pointed to Mary, who chose to sit at His feet and listen to His word. "Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her" (Luke 10:42). We're busy. We wear it like a badge of honor. But how is that actually working for our relationship with God? The most important things in life won't happen by accident—they happen because we choose to prioritize them. Jesus invites you to meet with Him daily, but He won't force you. Will you choose, like Mary, to sit at His feet? Above all the noise and demands, one thing is needed. Dwell in the house of the Lord, gaze on His beauty, and seek Him (Psalm 27:4).
