As faithful followers of our Lord, we must be willing to “sit at Jesus’ feet<\/em><\/strong>” like Mary in order to receive His instructions (Luke 10:39; cf. Matthew 7:24; 1 John 3:22). In this “sitting,” there is a submission of our will to His will (Matthew 7:21; Luke 22:42; cf. John 5:30; John 6:38). Like Mary, we must develop a “singleness” of heart, knowing that “one thing is needful” rather than the multiple cares and distractions of this life (Luke 10:40-42).<\/p>\n

None who “hunger and thirst for righteousness” at Jesus’ feet will go unfilled (Matthew 5:6).

We are then His to use as a “living sacrifice” (Romans 12:1) and a “bondservant” or “slave” (1 Corinthians 7:22 ASV; 1 Corinthians 7:22).<\/p>\n

In order to be faithful followers of Christ, we must be willing to fully submit our lives to the Lord (Philippians 3:7-10; cf. Romans 10:3), remembering this as a necessary prerequisite in order to truly “sit at Jesus’ feet.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
