Thanks for visiting and commenting Connie. A clear command is exactly right and one we so often ignore. This Lenten season I am trying to listen more intently to Him and as you wrote – hear his heartbeat. well said

“Listen to him. A clear command from God to each of us. Listen to Jesus.”…and I pray for less of me, more of Him, that I would lean in and hear His Heartbeat…beautiful post Jean

Imaging oneself in the scenes of the Bible can be a powerful spiritual discipline. I always gain new insight when I do this

You know, I never really put myself there, on that mountaintop, in their shoes. I’ve never really thought about how I might have reacted. But now that you mention it, I’d have to say like Peter: distracted, busy, planning, overwhelmed. Just like I’ve recognized myself in Martha, bustling, instead of Mary, listening at Jesus’ feet.

Really compelling post, Jean. And thank you so much for linking up today — so grateful to see you there!

Amen Jean! We all have those marching orders, and need to keep close focus on them as we go through our daily lives.

Thank you for this wonderful post!

Have a Blessed Day!

Thanks for all your sharing. Glad i am not alone in knowing in how I would react in this mountaintop experience.

Bless your heart, Jean, I so appreciate this post! I never gave it much thought before. Yes, Peter was busy planning, instead of just enjoying. Maybe even prideful that he was a witness to that? How I wish I had been there. But…what if I had the wrong motive in my heart? How grievous to be there with the wrong thinking and miss out on the joy. Great post!

Yes, I would no doubt be like Peter. My mind would race, and I wouldn't take in the absolute miracle that was standing in front of me.

I see myself do this so often with other things in my life. My kids will be talking and I'm in another place. My friend will be sharing, and I'm putting together my response.

For sure something I need to work on.

Jean, I can really relate to this. I need to LISTEN! And take time to listen too. Thanks!

I’m afraid I would have been right along with Peter – I too need to learn to listen to him & not to keep jumping onto the next building project!
