"CLOTHED, AND IN HIS RIGHT MIND." What a testimony to our Lord's power over evil spirits. This poor man had just been rescued from Satan. He felt under the deepest obligation to Jesus. He was filled with wonder at His power. He was drawn by His preaching and he took his seat at His feet. This was the posture of a pupil, the place occupied by a disciple. We may still enjoy this privilege. Jesus speaks to us now. Let us sit down at His feet, and hear His word with attention, receive His doctrine with gratitude, and own Him as our Lord and Master. It is the posture of humility. The feet of Jesus is our proper place. There we are safe. It is the evidence of attachment: how much we have to attach ourselves to the Lord Jesus, how much we have already received, how much we still want, which He only can supply. Let us consider how much more we shall need as we press on our journey, for it is vain to look to any other quarter. Let us therefore sit down at His feet, and meekly receive His word of grace and truth. Let us keep our place, not allowing anything to draw us away. Satan will if he can, for he well knows that he cannot harm us here. Sinners will, if they can, for while we are in this posture, we reprove them and exalt the name of God. Let us sit at the feet of the Master.

For Meditation:
O may I find my blessed seat
In humble faith at Jesus' feet;
Imbibe His wisdom, prove His love,
Receive instruction from above.
