The Blessing in sitting at the feet of the Lord

We at The Daily Jot have been hitting it pretty hard about the need for the great Christian masses in the United States to stand up for what is right and take back our nation. This is not about Dominion Theology or Kingdom Now or Name It, Claim It. Its about common sense and hearing and obeying the Lord. Throughout the Bible are examples of how kings of Israel and Judea either did well or did evil in the sight of the Lord. And no matter how one tries to cut it, the people of those nations were greatly affected by the king's actions. I find it interesting that many contemporary Christians just do not believe that leaders can determine the level of misery a society suffers. And by doing the Lord's will, we can change that.

Somehow they see it in terms of "God being in control" or "this is the way it has to be" if the prophecies of Revelation are to play out. They use these as excuses to stand by and watch the world around us literally and figuratively go to hell. And, believe me, I know that God is in control. But I also know that while we cannot stop the march of prophecy, we can determine our place in it. To me, there is too much emphasis in the church these days on self improvement and self indulgence. The Lord wants us to have a personal relationship with Him. It really has nothing to do with trying to be all that you can be, or establishing the kingdom of heaven here on earth. Its not about you, or me. Its about our Lord.

Remember the story of Martha and Mary. Luke 10:38-42: "Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."

Those who know their scriptures understand that we are to hear and obey God, and in that there is peace and fulfillment. As James wrote in 2:17,18, "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man say, Thou has faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show you my faith by my works." The point can be made that because of what the Lord did for us, and does for us, then we desire in our heart to do his will. This really has nothing to do with our own self centered desires, and whether God wants us to be all we can be. It has to do with us being what God wants us to be. And we know this by reading the scriptures, praying and seeking his will in our lives. Blessings to you!

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
