I’ve been sharing with you now for weeks about the subject of contemplative prayer. This week I want to take “a little side journey” and talk about an incident in the gospels that speaks to the issue of “wasting time on Yeshua.”

“But to which of the angels has He ever said: Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” (Hebrews 1:13-14).

Last time I shared some practicalities about contemplative prayer, the kind of prayer that Mary of Bethany modeled in Luke’s gospel. And I want to expand on that this week.

For the past month we have been looking at some examples from scripture of a type of prayer that most of us are probably not familiar with.

God gave everyone the (same) measure of faith, according to Romans, but what we do with our measure of faith determines our measure of success (Ro. 12:3b).

For the past several weeks we have been looking at an incident in Luke chapter 10, where a woman named Mary (actually “Miriam” in Hebrew), who lived in the village of Bethany with her sister Martha, chose to sit at the feet of Yeshua and listen to Him teach, rather than help her sister prepare food for Yeshua and His other disciples.
