WHOSE CHAIR ARE YOU IN?

One of my friends is a hairdresser.  She was discussing with our Bible study different people that sit in her chair.  When someone is sitting in her chair there are no distractions.  She only focuses on them.  She listens and takes in every detail that they are sharing with her.  She hears many life stories some happy some sad.  She once didn’t discuss Jesus, but now she talks about pray, scripture and the Lord.  What a difference her chair makes in peoples lives.

I ask you today whose chair are you in?  Are you in Gods chair with no distractions drawing you away from Him?  Or are you in the world’s chair letting the world suck and drain you of the energy that should be put into the plan and purpose He has for you?

I tell you GO SIT IN HIS CHAIR FOR A WHILE AND REST IN HIS PRESENCE!  You may be saying I don’t have time for that, but trust me.  If you carve out a small time everyday for Him your life will become much more productive. 

Martha and Mary were prime examples of this.  Martha was taken away with the chaos of the world and Mary was drawn to God’s chair.  Mary took the time with the Lord with no distractions.  When Martha mentioned this to the Lord He responded to Martha saying, “Do as Mary, she has chosen the better.”

Is the Lord telling you to come sit in His chair?  Is He telling you to choose the better and spend time with Him?  YES He is!

Begin everyday in His chair and be at rest in His presence!

Luke 10:38-42 Full story of Martha and Mary

Luke 10:41-42New International Version (NIV)
41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
