If you read the post from the other day, you will know we are sorry for our absence of bible study's. Yet through the inconvenience I learned something that I thought is valuable for any believer. We, the Christians, need to spend time with God. We can get so distracted by stuff. The funny thing is it can be good stuff. Like homework, helping a friend out, driving your siblings (or kids) around, work, fellowship. A perfect example Luke 10: 38-42 "As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a women named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, 'Lord don't you care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her to help me!' 'Martha, Martha,' the Lord answered, 'you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.'" It is good to clean your room, do dishes, help out at church functions. It's when we let doing things get in the way of why we are do it. When we are in constant contact with God we do things out of nature. In 2 Corinthians 4: 15 "All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God." You've probably heard that when you spend lots of time with someone you began to think, talk, even look alike. It's the same way with Jesus. When you spend time with him you began to look like God, because Jesus and the Father are one. I encourage you, sit at the feet of Jesus.
