Does the grass grow on your path?

Are you spending time on your face before the Lord?

Now here's one of the great traps, I think, especially for Christians.

We can be so busy about kingdom stuff that we're not busy with our king.

This was the era of Mary and Martha, right?

When Mary is sitting at the feet of the Lord and Martha is in great error, she is so busy, she's prepping all of the food, she's doing all kinds of things.

And then she's complaining against Mary.

And when she comes to the Lord Jesus with her complaint, what does Jesus say to her?

Mary's chosen the better portion because she's seeking the Lord.

She's soaking up the goodness of her Savior.

Don't be so busy, even with good things, so busy with kingdom things that you're not busy with the king.

Commit to praying.

Pray regularly.

Now, how do you do that?

How do you pray if you don't know how to pray?

Well, you start simply.

You can pray the Lord's Prayer.

Just start praying the Lord's Prayer.

You say, well, I've done that.

I'm not quite sure how to grow beyond that.
