You were made for more than serving God; you were made to know Him.

Intimacy with God—to know Him and be known by Him. It is what our hearts desperately need, but somehow life conspires to keep us busy and distracted.

For anyone who struggles when it comes to daily devotions, At the Feet of Jesus extends an irresistible invitation to set aside your duties and find the amazing peace and incredible joy that come from time alone with Him. Drawn from Joanna Weaver’s beloved Bethany trilogy, each reading in this 365-day devotional includes a Bible reading passage and reflection question. All-new material and “Going Deeper” sidebars are also woven throughout.

Discover for yourself the riches that come from spending a portion of each day alone with God. At the feet of Jesus—where true life begins!

Includes a unique One-Year Bible Reading Guide.

A Note from Joanna…
At the feet of Jesus.

I don’t know what those words do to your heart, but they stir something deep within me. My spirit longs for time with the Lord, but life often interferes. So many responsibilities to take care of. So many duties to be done.

Sitting at Jesus’s feet was a choice Mary had to make the day He came to her family’s home in Bethany (Luke 10:38–42). It is a choice you and I must make as well. Laying aside our busyness—even our busyness for God—so that
we might focus our hearts on spending time alone with Him.

I hope you will find this devotional a helpful companion on your journey into God’s presence. I’ve interwoven excerpts from my three Bethany books: Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, Having a Mary Spirit, and Lazarus Awakening. I’ve also included previously unpublished material that didn’t make it into my original books, each of which I’ve labeled “outtake.” A “Read and Reflect” section will help you dig into the life-changing Word of God for yourself, giving you opportunity to find the “better part” Mary enjoyed and the “one thing” I believe her sister Martha discovered as she received the rebuke of the Lord and found life for her soul.

Sprinkled throughout the year are “Going Deeper” sidebars to help you develop a daily quiet time, and in the back of the book you’ll find a unique one-year Bible reading guide that takes you back and forth between the Old Testament and the New (check out the downloadable format at www.becominghis.com). It is my prayer that you’ll fall in love with God’s Word in a brandnew way as you discover the message of grace woven throughout the Bible from beginning to end.

Down at the feet of Jesus. That’s where it all begins.

Lord Jesus, I give You my life.
I invite You to have Your way in me.
Take me and break me. Shake me and make me.
Fill me and spill me. Change me and rearrange me.
But whatever You do, Lord, don’t leave me the same.
Spirit of wisdom and revelation, I welcome Your work.
Open my eyes so I can see… my ears so I can hear…
I choose truth over comfort, challenge over complacency.
Lord, make me forever Yours.
And most of all, make me like You.
Amen.

January 1

I’ve always dreamed of being much more than I am. More organized, more disciplined, more loving…much more “much more,” if you know what I mean! Each January I set out on a new self-improvement program.
This year I’ll get in shape.
This year I’ll keep my house clean.
This year I’ll send out birthday cards. On time.
This year—really—I’ll be the loving, forgiving, obedient woman of God

I long to be instead of the willful, stubborn, disobedient Christian I sometimes see staring back at me in the mirror.

All noble goals. Truth be told, I am much more at peace when my house is clean. And I believe that if you really love people, you ought to care enough to send the very best—or at least one of those ninety-nine-cent cards from Wal-
Mart! And I know that genuine happiness only comes from living close to God and obeying Him.

I really do want to be different. I want to be changed.

As the saying goes, “There’s a skinny woman inside me just struggling to get out.” Unfortunately—as the saying continues—“I can usually sedate her with four or five cupcakes.”

Maybe you’ve discovered, as I have, that most New Year’s resolutions have little effect on day-to-day life except to add a burden of guilt and a feeling of failure. Continually striving, yet never arriving.

I’m so glad we have a Savior who loves us just as we are, but loves us too much to leave us that way. Jesus will do whatever it takes to return to us the glory of God that we were meant to reflect in the world. So that, through our
lives, people might see who God really is.

—Having a Mary Spirit

Read: Hebrews 4:14–16
Reflect: What does it mean to know that you have a high priest who understands your weakness?

I love this devotional

I love this devotional. I have enjoyed Joanna Weaver's books, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, Having a Mary Spirit, and Lazarus Awakening. This devotional combines the lessons and scripture from all three books. It really speaks to my heart as a busy wife and mother. Spending time alone with God is vital and this devotional, along with my Bible, and morning coffee are essential in my day. I have enjoyed this devotional so much I have given it to many of my friends and other women who I want to encourage in their relationship with God. Thank you Joanna for this awesome book of encouragement!!

Who Am I & How Do I Come Closer to Knowing Myself?

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2018

It is hard to choose whether to be a Martha person who works hard for the Lord or a Mary character who sits at the feet of Jesus to listen to the words of Jesus. The author has pro’s and con’s for both persons’ ideas. And does not push one idea over another allowing one to think and pray according to one’s own choice. And even to be a little bit of worker and thinker. The reader is never wondering alone. The author helps the reader as much as she is wanted. I appreciated being allowed to form my own impressions and be still able to talk my ideas with her ideas. And the author stays in the background but always available.

exactly what I needed

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2015

Verified Purchase

As a busy working mom, I always appreciate a great devotional to help me get at least a snippet of wisdom from God's Word every day. I was greatly blessed by this devotional compilation from Joanna Weaver's books. There were many days that I felt the reading for that day was exactly the message that I desperately needed at that very moment. As the readings ARE excerpts from her books, some of the content may be more meaningful to you if you have read the books, but God's Word never returns void and I believe the daily messages will be just as great a blessing to anyone who has not read the books as well. I have also gifted this book, and the recipient has been equally blessed. I highly recommend this devotional.

This is a great book to bring new life to your daily devotions

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2015

This devotional is a classic! It isn't new but yet I keep buying it because it makes such a great gift! If you or somebody you know is desiring but struggling to have a set aside time with God, then this is the perfect book for you. The daily devotions are short but incredibly insightful. Joanna is an amazing writer kindling a desire in me to think, read, write, and do more. I highly recommend this book. Buy two and give one to your friend.

This book was recommended by a friend and both my husband and I read it every morning. Suffice it to say, that alternative reading is our method except when it comes to this book...he reads this one to us. That says a lot. The book is very good, practical and straight to the point. It's a must!
