Faith Believers,
It is impossible to do what the Lord desires,
unless we take time to listen to Him.
We can only do this by being still and ceasing our busy, activity-filled lives. Sometimes all GOD wants to speak to us are words of love and affirmation. Many times He may require nothing of you but to sit and enjoy His company.

However, it is a very clear command from GOD that we are to listen to His Son: Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: ‘This is My Son, whom I love, Listen to Him!’ - Mark 9:7. It is implied that listening involves obeying. Truly hearing GOD is to be obedient to what He says: Do not merely listen to the Word, and so deceive yourselves, do what it says - James 1:22.
Jesus expressed confidence that those who will be still before Him will live lives that are filled with divine intervention. The Lord said, My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of My hand - John 10:27-28.
Your children and grandchildren are watching how you live your life. Are they learning the lifestyle of Martha…or Mary? …Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her - Luke 10:42.

Lord Jesus,
I have so much in common with Martha, which is not such a bad thing!
Yet, I do long to learn a lesson from her sister, who spent her time sitting at Your Feet, simply learning from You and adoring You!
Out of the overflow of her devotion,
she lived her life for You.
Help me to be still, and to keep my eyes fixed upon Your Blessed Face, so that I will not miss You in the midst of my busy life!
Draw me close, Jesus, so that those who follow after me
will learn to know that You are GOD!
