Hallelujah

I was driving to work this morning with Christmas music in the CD player and the Hallelujah Chorus started and I was trying to sing along (but I can't sing that high), so instead I sat back and took a second to realize this amazing song is triumphantly about praise and for that reason it demands that you stand when it is played or sung. It's about my Jesus. King of Kings and Lord of Lords Forever and Ever Hallelujah Hallelujah. A tear came to my eye.

Which was so welcome because how easily service for Him replaces intimacy with Him. I get so busy doing this and that, that I forget to just sit at His feet and choose the better thing that Mary chose. Sometimes it's ok to be Mary. Martha works too hard. She did good, but Mary did what was better. I'm definitely Martha. I want to be Mary. How easy that sounds!
