One of my favorite people in all of Scripture is Mary of Bethany. She had a heart for Jesus like none other. We first meet her in Luke 10, sitting at the feet of Jesus. Later, in John 12, Mary returns to the feet of Jesus, dousing them with expensive perfume and wiping them clean with her hair. While Mary is my favorite person in the Bible, I wondered about others who spent time at the feet of Jesus. The bleeding woman. Those at the foot of the cross. Jairus. Mary Magdalene. The Syrophoenician Woman. There are so many people in the Bible who spent time at the feet of Jesus. My name is Heather Hart, and I would love to invite you to sit at the feet of Jesus with me. I hope that while you read through this devotional and long after you close the last page, you'll find yourself right there with the people on the pages, worshiping our Savior.

James 1:5 tells us that if we lack wisdom, we should ask for it. That's exactly what King Solomon did, and he became one of the wisest men of all time (2 Chronicles 1:10). Much of his wisdom is recorded in the book of Proverbs, along with wisdom from other wise men. While Proverbs contains much wisdom, we'll be pulling the string that runs throughout the entire book: the wisdom of having faith in Jesus. Join me in exploring the Bible's wisdom and how it relates to life today in this 31-day devotional through the book of Proverbs.

When was the last time we were simply thankful for Jesus? When we count our blessings, we usually thank God for the things He has created or put in our lives. Our family and friends.

Not just who He is, but what He means in our lives? That's what you'll find in this book. Thirty devotions that are all about Jesus.
