The Second Tip: Sit Still

“What happens when we sit at Jesus’ feet and listen to His voice? First, pause a moment and consider the stunning implication of this question. Because of His death on the cross for our sins, we have the privilege to sit at the feet of the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace and to listen to Him (Isaiah 9:6).

As if it weren’t enough to bask in His presence, it is here that we receive grace to make the best use of out time. When we seek God through His Word and prayer, we glean wisdom for walking carefully. We obtain guidance for daily decisions. We find peace in the midst of life’s whirlwind. We are infused with strength to complete our tasks.

Wisdom. Guidance. Peace. Strength. We can’t successfully shop for time without them. And we’ll only find these essentials by sitting at Jesus’ feet. We certainly can’t manufacture them on our own.”

How has your devotional life been looking these days? Is it a joy and delight to sit at the Lord’s feet or do you view devotions as a chore? If you consider devotions as a chore, let me encourage you to ask the Lord to change your heart. If it’s your desire to grow in holiness then I can guarantee that the Lord (can) and will change your heart. The Bible say’s “Ask and you shall receive.” Take some time today to ask the Lord to change your heart!
