Don't Let Go of His Feet 

2 Kings 4:8-36 

The Shunammite woman had a problem that required immediate attention. She knew a man of God named Elisha who could resolve her problem, and she would not stop until she was in his presence. She would not even tell Elisha's servant what the problem was. As a matter of fact, when she saw Elisha, her first reaction was to "take hold of his feet." When you hold on to a person’s feet, it is usually out of desperation and as a last-resort plea for help. Where do you go or whom do you talk to when you have an immediate need or problem? Do you call your best friend, your mom, your sister? Try the person who is not surprised by your circumstances and who can turn a situation that everyone else has given up on into triumph. Oh how we need to stay at the feet of Jesus never letting go until we hear His voice, sense His presence, experience our deliverance. There are some things we can only tell Jesus. He's ultimately the only one who can provide for our every need. The woman in the Bible known as "a woman who had lived a sinful life" must have known the significance of lying at Jesus’ feet (Luke 7:37). She crashed the dinner party and took the chance of being ridiculed by the Pharisees just to lay before the Master, praising and weeping to the point of wetting His feet with her tears. And she didn't stop there. She gave the most expensive gift she had--a bottle of perfume equal to a year’s worth of income--in exchange for being in the presence of the Lord. See in His presence there is deliverance, forgiveness, comfort, and His love. Have you ever had a desperate need? Do you have one right now? Don't let go of His feet. Stay in His presence. Hold on until Jesus speaks to you concerning your situation. Worship Him at his feet. 

Lord Jesus, give us a spirit of desperation to worship you.
