Choosing the good portion “at His Feet”

Glimpses into the life of Mary the worshipper

worshipfeetWhat is Worship? Worship is expressing your love for God. The Bible says that loving God is the most important thing we can do. When Jesus was asked which is the greatest commandment, he answered: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” (Mark 12:30).  When we express our love for God (in every possible way) we are worshipping him.

(THE BEGINNINGS OF PRAYER)

Much has been written on this subject of personal prayer and the purpose of this article is not to repeat any of the familiar thoughts that have been already expressed in the past, but to perhaps share something different and yet not so new.

It has been well stated that prayer is communication with God that travels in a two-way cycle. When we pray, we speak to God, bringing to Him all our difficulties, trials faced, problems, etc, and when we read / feed upon His Word, He is able to communicate back with us and direct us according to our need.  This basic form of praying and reading the Word completes the cycle of communication between man and God through the agency of the Holy Spirit.
