taking the time

You know when you are reading scripture and words seem highlighted? You keep reading, but your eyes keep being drawn back to one particular line. That happened the other morning and I thought I would share it with you.

“And she had sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to His teaching.” Luke 10:39. The picture that comes to mind is so peaceful and inviting. I wonder if Mary would inch over just a bit so we can sit down too? She has taken a lowly place, are we comfortable here? Will we listen to His teaching or want to get back to serving like her sister Martha was busying doing? Honestly, I have found serving to be easier than listening at times. But I have to wonder what I will serve if I have not taken the time to listen.
