The sooner we learn that JESUS, is worthy of our praise, the sooner we will stop our busy-ness to sit in JESUS'S presence, as Mary of Bethany did so long ago.
The story is recorded in Luke 10:38-42 describes JESUS paying Mary and Martha a visit. Martha was stressed out about getting a meal on the table. Her sister Mary, however, was sitting at the SAVIOR feet feasting on HIS every word.
Martha asked JESUS to insist that Mary give her some help. JESUS did not comply with her request, and the reason was clear. JESUS wanted to teach Martha a lesson.
HE wanted the older sister to learn that there is more to life than the art of entertaining or a fascination with food. What JESUS saw in Mary was a portrait HE wanted to hold up as an example of how to set proper priorities.
Mary had recognized that her friend from Nazareth was more than a carpenter. JESUS was more than a rabbi. JESUS was the long-awaited MESSIAH. HE was worthy of her worship. JESUS is worthy of our attention. HE is worthy of letting all else wait. Don't neglect time in HIS presence today.
2 Samuel 22:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Prayer
Confess to the LORD your tendency to obsess over insignificant details that derail your devotion to HIM. Spend quiet time in HIS presence.
