It seems that some people have learned to abide at the feet of Jesus as they go through life. They have peace and power with God.
I want that kind of life, filled with the Spirit of God.
Remember Mary and Martha? While Martha worried over physical things, her sister Mary sat at the feet of Jesus.
When we come into His presence (in prayer, Bible reading, worship, etc.), burdens of life tend to grow amazingly light and peaceful.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
The more time we spend at the feet of Jesus, the larger He gets in our eyes and the smaller other things seem to become.
At the feet of Jesus Mary found acceptance and true contentment.
Sitting at the feet of Jesus will show on you. People will notice.
Around the throne of Heaven every song will praise Jesus, for He is worthy.
Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying Thou art worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof: for thou was slain and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation.
After I sing the new song with the Heavenly Choir, I'd like to request "At The Cross" and "Glory To His Name" and "Amazing Grace". Yet, I imagine the new song will be so perfect we may want to repeat it again and again, and then fall down before Him in worship.
And don't you know that while we're singing, memories will rise of where we were when the Lamb redeemed us and what a difference it made in our lives. Praise God!
Jesus is just as worthy of praise today. He is still Lord. He is still God. He is still our Redeemer, worthy of every "Amen!", "Hallelujah!" and "Glory to God!"
On the way to the city, two crowds met; Jesus and His disciples, rejoicing in His ministry; and a widow and mourners headed for the cemetery, lamenting the death of her only son.
Jesus, "The Man Of Sorrows", easily identified with this widow's heartache. The sympathetic Saviour felt her pain as He does ours.
Luke 7:13,14 And when The Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said unto her, "Weep not." And he came and touched the bier; and they that bare him stood still. And He said, "Young man, I say unto thee, Arise."
At His word, the boy lying on an open stretcher sat up and spoke. I wonder what he said.
What an act of tenderness as Jesus took the boy and give him to his rejoicing mother. What a mighty God we serve!
The whole scene reminds us of what will happen when The Lord returns, when we are reunited with our loved ones who have gone to glory. --1 Thes. 4:13-18.
I had already been through breast cancer and didn't want to go through it again. I am a seventeen year survivor. God was ever so close back then.
My recent mammogram prompted on ultrasound and then a biopsy. That's not good. The rush of emotions while waiting for results can get to a person. But, again, The Lord was there, cheering me on.
I read and reread the scripture on pink plastic, dingling from my purse.
Hebrews 13:5 . . . . I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.
During the ultrasound a lady began to sing "Amazing Grace" on a small television during the 911 Memorial Ceremony.
By preaching, The Lord encouraged me to share this with some dear ladies at church so they could help me pray. Except for my family, I was keeping it to myself.
On the way to see the doctor today, the song, "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow" played on my IPod.
Jesus was there all the time. Thank God for the good results.
