Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.” Matthew 28:1&9 Perhaps these two women might have hesitated when they saw Jesus alive, Whom they thought was in the grave. They could have been awestruck, or have feinted, or have been f

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “They came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting down at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind” Luke 8:35 Oh I praise God that when you and I are sitting down at the feet of Jesus, just as Mary did, that we are also, in that moment, choosing “the good part,” as our Savior stated of Mary (Luke 10 42), and this is precisely where we become “clothed” and in our “right mind.” In God’s prese

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her” Luke 10:41-42 Have you chosen the good part? Or have you chosen another part, which may not be so good? Mary chose the good part which was this: “Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word” (Luke 10:39). Martha was choosing, by contr

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:42 “Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word.” Luke 10:39 Praise God! Whenever we desire to be renewed with “the good part” in our lives in Christ, all we need to do is sit at the feet of Jesus, as close as we can be, just us with our Lord God, abiding in His presence and listening to His word. How beautiful is this! Oh I bles

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41-42 There is one thing that is necessary for us in our Christian life, and that is to be as close to Jesus as possible, humbly at His feet, so we may hear and attend to the word and voice of our Good Shepherd, our Savior, our Way, Truth, and Life (Jo

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations” Luke 10:39-40 It’s all to easy, isn’t it, for us to become “distracted,” even as children of God. This is just one more reason why the realization of our priesthood to God, to be ministers unto our Lord, is such a blessing in our lives. Ministering to the Lord is our spending real time “at the Lord’s feet,” in s

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “The Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands; as the prophet says: ‘Heaven is My throne, and earth is the footstool of My feet; what kind of house will you build for Me?’ says the Lord, ‘or what place is there for My repose? Was it not My hand which made all these things?’” Acts 7:48-50 / Isaiah 66:1-2 The disciple Stephen spoke these words shortly before being stoned to death by a hostile crowd, as he was explaining

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Thus says the Lord, ‘Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is a place that I may rest? But to this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.’” Isaiah 66:1-2 In this passage of Scripture our Father God does not seem to be as interested in having a house built for Him as much as He is interested in finding a person w

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Thus says the Lord, ‘Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is a place that I may rest? But to this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word’” Isaiah 66:1-2 God has come to us that we might, among other things, find true rest in Him, even as our Savior has said, “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I w

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Thus says the Lord, ‘Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is a place that I may rest?’” Isaiah 66:1 Praise God, for we show our Lord that we believe heaven is His throne when we come to worship at His footstool. We bless our Father, Who is seated in heaven, when we draw near to worship at His footstool on earth. God sits upon His throne in heaven, and we are
