Picture yourself at Jesus’ feet with the forgiveness of God making all things new in your life. Mary has much to teach us about adoration, devotion, and living our life at the feet of our Lord and Savior—Jesus Christ. She came to Jesus with a humble heart and made wise decisions that were based on her spiritual priorities. The result was praise from the Lord.Gene Cunningham - February 13, 2000

The five mountain peaks of the life of faith. Mt. Mariah - Abraham sacrifice; Mt. Sianai (Exo 19:17-21) law and judgment; Mt. Zion (2Ki 18:1) David's throne -- rulership; Mt. Carmel truth vs. error -- victory; Mt. Olivet (Luk 22:29, 40, Joh 8:1) suffering; Mt. transfiguration (Luk 9:28-31) resurrection and glory. 5 Hebrew words for faith: (1) Amen - to lean on for support; (2) Batach - wrestling term - body slam to the mat; (3) Casah - rabbit chased by fox into a cleft in the rock; (4) Yachal - dressing for wound; (5) Qawah - weave an unbreakable rope from small vines or threads.
