Simple title for a simple reason. In Matthew 5:1-2 it says "Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountain and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them by saying....."

Jesus sat down on the side of the mountain and his followers knew he was about to teach them. My goal everyday is that God would teach me something new. I often start my prayer by saying "God, I am sitting down will you please sit with me". What I am saying to Him is I am ready to hear from you, I am ready to learn something new...Speak into my life. It is my way of preparing my heart to listen.

So, why sit down? It is the position Jesus took before he taught the beatitudes and it is my desire to learn daily. It is my reminder to silence my heart and hear from God.
