Spend Time at HIS feet

The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there. Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet ...
John 11:31-32

How special Mary is. In Luke 10, we see her at the feet of the Lord in a happy time. Here, we see her at His feet during a hard time. Mary is one who, both in days of delight and days of difficult, positioned herself at the feet of Jesus Christ.

I have found that some are inclined to spend time with the Lord in easy times. ‘Oh, Lord, You’re so good to me. I’ll sing Your praises; I’ll be at church on Sunday.’ But when the hard times come, they pull away. In anger and frustration and confusion, they say, ‘Why expend the energy? Why pay the gas money? I’ll just stay home and watch TV.’

Others run to church in hard times. We saw that all across this nation during Desert Storm. In hard times, many seek the Lord and sit at His feet. But when things are back to normal, they disappear.

Like many of you, however, there are some like Mary, who, regardless of the circumstances, find themselves always at Jesus’ feet.

People often wonder how they can experience intimacy with the Lord to the degree Mary did. The answer is simple: Spend time at His feet.
