[The Glory Unveiled]
And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. [ Luke 10:39 NKJV ]
The acts that transform and change our lives are not always great or perceivable acts. More often than not, the things that profoundly change us are the little, seemingly insignificant things we do consistently. When Jesus visited the home of Martha, she was busy doing many things. She was occupied with service, activity and the demands of the moment. Yet Jesus told her that only one thing was necessary: to recognise Him and remain at His feet. You see, we can only truly stay with Jesus when we recognise Him for who He is. Everything was made by Him and for Him. Everything finds its meaning, purpose and ultimate direction in Him. Everything is drawn towards Him. So, when by the Holy Spirit we recognise who Jesus is and choose to remain at His feet, something begins to happen within us—we become like Him. Prolonged proximity produces resemblance. Throughout Scripture, those who stayed with Jesus long enough began to look like Him. His presence shaped their character, His words transformed their thinking, and His nature became evident in their lives. And when we take on His identity, we begin to exhibit His nature. We become obedient because He is obedient. We love because He is love. His life begins to find expression through ours. So, quit running around trying to become what only sitting at His feet can make you. Slow down. Stay at His feet. Learn of Him. Look upon Him. Listen to Him. Because sometimes, the greatest transformation in your life will not come from doing more for Jesus, but from simply staying long enough with Jesus to become like Him.
