FAITH CAPSULE: Whatever you laid down at His feet shall be laid to rest.

Matthew 15:21-31

His feet should not be mistaken for a place for spectators or multitude with no expectation. The bible recorded, “Jairus, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, and when he saw Him, he fell at His feet and begged Him earnestly, saying, ‘My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live’” (Mark 5:22-23). Before healing was possible, Jairus came with expectation not for entertainment. He came and fell at Jesus’ feet. Jairus begged earnestly but not to exercise excessive power of his position. Jesus delivered answer to Jairus’ request while he was at Jesus’ feet.
Jesus identified a good place to be when Martha and Mary approached Him. “Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house.  And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.” And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” The bible verses above mentioned that Mary sat at the feet of Jesus and Jesus identified the position of Mary as the good part.
Where in Jesus are you positioning yourself?
Take position at Jesus’ feet just as Mary did. Make the feet of Jesus as your choice. At His feet, take to the word of God. At His feet do not give regard to any distraction, pay no attention to spectators but seek for His healing word. Great multitudes came to His feet to receive healing by taking position at His feet. Matthew 15:30 recorded, “Then great multitudes came to Him having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them.”
Who have you been seeking for your healing and deliverance? Today, lying, deception and manipulation exists at every corner in the city or outside of the city. Take notice; do not be an ignorant, know and understand that there are no feet like taking a place at the feet of Jesus. Whatever you lay down at His feet shall be laid to rest; when you fall down at His feet your concern shall not rise up with you again.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to lay all your challenges at His feet.
