“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one things is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her. Luke 10:42 NIV
Do the words worried, busy, upset, and distracted describe you today? Are you in full swing with your summer schedule and you find yourself trying to juggle many activities daily?
Maybe your work is demanding more hours because many are out on vacation. And your children need extra care because they are home for the summer. You try to work in a family vacation but realize that is next to impossible between work and summer camps. And then to top it off your finances for a vacation are lacking.
Today stop for a moment and listen as Jesus says, “You are worried about many things, but only one thing is needed.” That one thing is Him.
Follow Mary’s lead, spend time sitting at Jesus’ feet even though choas is all around you.
During these crazy months of summer, don’t forget to be crazy in love with Him.
What a needed reminder in my life! It is not that I am all that busy, but I feel very unsettled at the moment. Not sure why, but I know that the solution is exactly what you wrote about: sitting at the feet of Jesus!Thanks friend.
Yes Alene, "worried, busy, upset, and distracted" does describe me these days… thanks for the reminder of how Mary spends time with Jesus.
I love how she in mentioned 3 times in the Gospel accounts. Every time she is mentioned, she is always found at the feet of Jesus. All her experiences there can teach us all some valuable lessons about our own walk with the Lord.
(sigh) I'm refreshed… thanks Alene for reminding me "to chose what is better" – time with Jesus.
