2 Kings 17:1-41; Jeremiah 51:1-24; 1 Timothy 1:1-20

But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her. Luke 10:42, NKJV

It is of great eternal value to sit at the Lord’s feet daily, giving Him the place of honour as He teaches us the lessons He has prepared for us. Day by day, our Lord has a portion that He has prepared for each of us and it is worthy of receiving. Mary chose to sit at the Lord’s feet to receive her part, to hear His word for her. No one could take it away from her. Do we desire the part the Lord has for us today? Or are we losing out on invaluable spiritual blessings?

Once earthly joy I craved, sought peace and rest;
Now Thee alone I seek, give what is best;
This all my prayer shall be: more love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee, more love to Thee! —Elizabeth Prentiss
