This past weekend, I used the story of Mary (Martha’s sister) to remind us where God wants to lead us on our journey in this life. Take a minute to reread the beautiful picture of how she brought honor to Jesus.
John 12
2 A dinner was prepared in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those who ate with him.
3 Then Mary took a twelve-ounce jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet with it, wiping his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance.
Jesus wants to lead us to a place of humble sacrifice ... a place where He can use us to make an eternal difference in the lives of others (reread Mark 14:9). This can only happen when we set aside some really good distractions so we can experience the “one thing worth being concerned about” (reread Luke 10:38-42). Are you spending 10 minutes a day “listening at the feet of Jesus”?
