but remember the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10. Martha was
busy doing good things as she prepared for dinner, and wanted Mary
to help. But Jesus would not take away from Mary that which she was
doing, the very best thing she could be doing – sitting in the presence
of Him. I know you have a lot of good things to get done – but don’t
sacrifice the great for the good.
3. Expect God to work in your life in a way that you have never experienced.
As you sit in His presence, desire Him and Him alone – He

and embrace the time together. If this is the first time you have done
this, it is going to be very difficult. That’s ok. You can do it! I know you
can! So keep moving forward. Keep plugging away, and trust that He is
moving in you! During the final 10 minutes, sit in the presence of Jesus,
and Thank Him. Thank Him for grace, peace, salvation, hope, family,
friends, jobs, church, opportunities to share the truth – whatever comes
to mind, thank Him for it, because in that thankful heart will generate a
well spring of gratitude that will guide you through the day. If you have
