sitting

"And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word."
Luke 10:39

                                                                                     Sitting
It's a conscious intentional act and a recognized need to be still. Sitting provides an opportunity for spiritual insight and spiritual growth. It is there that you learn who God is and it will strengthen your faith.

When we sit in His presence daily, we're telling the Lord God that we need Him, and we are depending on Him. We're telling Him that we desire His presence and His company. We're inviting Him to have control over our life, our thoughts, our responses, our actions, and our words for that day.

Sitting requires consistent prioritized time. We are not to be in a hurry to read and pray.  Rushing in and out of His presence is rude and not acceptable. We should set aside a specific time slot, preferably, in the morning before we start the day.  We should also give attention to prayer because communication with the Lord God goes both ways.

                                                                               
Mary of Bethany sat at the Lord's feet on three occasions: for learning, at a time of grief, and for worship.
Luke 10:39; John 11:32; Mark 14:3

Our ability to sit at His feet for learning will impact every area of our lives. When trials come, we'll know to run to Him automatically. In so doing, we'll have the help we need all day long. We'll have the strength we need, and the right perspective we need. We'll be able to shine our light for others to see. Our testimony will be seen as well.  We will ultimately please God. We can now come into the good of all the blessings God has given to us.

Note: 
There are no additional blessings to be had for we've been blessed with all spiritual blessings already. We just have to live in the good of what we've been given in order to experience the abundant life.

May the Lord help us to practice sitting in His presence daily.
