Time...

What is it that God desires most from us? His heart aches for us to know him, for us to seek him, for us to spend time with him. I have prayed and prayed for a closer relationship with my God...for a heart that burns to know him more!!! I found myself lost in this thought over the past two days. To know him more will cost me something....time. Am I willing to give him more of my time? Will I rise early, stay up late or skip a meal so that I can meet with Him for just a little longer today??? I want to...I pray for a heart like Mary had. She didn't get lost in the "weeds" of the day rather she savored the moments by sitting at the Lord's feet. She knew the moments were precious. The moments are precious.
Help me Lord...help me to put my agenda down..help me to sit at your feet every moment that I can. Nothing pleases you more.
Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. 39She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. 40But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” 41But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; 42but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:38-42
