AT HIS FEET.
We’re always trying to get somewhere.
The next job.
The next open door.
The next achievement.
The next answered prayer.
And sometimes, without realising it, we can become so busy trying to build a life for God that we forget to simply be with God.
There’s a moment in Luke 10 where Jesus visits the home of two sisters, Martha and Mary.
Martha is busy preparing, serving, and making sure everything is taken care of. Meanwhile, Mary sits at Jesus’ feet, listening to Him.
Eventually, Martha becomes frustrated and asks Jesus to tell Mary to help her.
But Jesus responds:
“Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better.”
— Luke 10:41–42
Martha was busy doing for Jesus.
Mary simply chose to be with Jesus.
And maybe that’s something we need to hear too.
In a world that constantly tells us to do more, achieve more, become more, Jesus invites us to come closer.
At His feet, we don’t have to prove ourselves.
We don’t have to have it all figured out.
We don’t have to bring anything impressive.
We can just come as we are.
Lay it all down.
And listen.
Because maybe the greatest thing we could ever accomplish isn’t reaching the highest place—
but finding ourselves at His feet.
“If the highest place I reach is at Your feet, then I’ve done it all.”
May we never become so busy chasing what’s next that we miss the One who is already here.
At His feet, we are exactly where we need to be.
