Sitting at Jesus' Feet

There's something oddly uncomfortable about doing nothing.

Not scrolling. Not multitasking. Not squeezing in one more productive thing before the day ends. Just ... sitting.

And if we're honest, that discomfort spills over into our spiritual lives too. We know we should spend time with Jesus, but it often gets treated like one more item on an already crowded list — something we try to "fit in" rather than something we actually build our lives around.

But what if we've been approaching it all backward?

This week's devotional circles around a simple but quietly life-altering idea: before we do anything for Jesus, we're invited to be with Him. Not rushes. Not distracted. Not performing. Just present.

It sounds basic, almost too obvious. Yet it pushes against everything in us that wants to measure our worth by output, efficiency, or how much we can get done in a day. Sitting at Jesus' feet doesn't feel productive. It doesn't check a visible box. But it might be the most important thing we do.

Because the truth is, what fills us is what eventually flows out of us. When our lives feel hurried, drained, or disconnected, it's often not because we're doing too much — it's because we're trying to do it without being rooted in the right place.

This isn't about adding pressure to have the perfect quiet time or becoming ultra-disciplined overnight. It's about rediscovering something we were made for: relationship, not just responsibility.

This week's devotional invites us into a different rhythm — one where we learn to slow down, listen, receive, and then live from that place. Not use occasionally, but consistently.

An who knows? You might find that the most meaningful moments aren't the ones where you accomplished the most ... but the ones where you simply sat and stayed a while.
