Today’s Scripture: but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:42 NIV
“Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,” Luke 10:41 ESV. Sound familiar? Do we get lost in our anxiety and troubles of trying to do too much? Like Martha, we even stress over doing what is good. Jesus said Mary has chosen what is better.
What is better? Sitting at Christ’s feet and listening to His teaching. Can we just stop the madness and pause to sit at Jesus’ feet and listen? It’s OK, really. Jesus says it’s ok. You are justified and blessed to pause, sit, and listen.
There, don’t you feel better knowing you have permission to disconnect from your busyness? This peace, this Jesus will never be taken away. Those things we are anxious about and that trouble us will leave us in the blink of an eye. Can you take a few moments today to recline at the feet of the Almighty and listen? This is a much better choice. Do you ever lose intimacy with Jesus because you are too busy?
Today’s Prayer: Lord Jesus I am here resting at Your feet. Thank You for Your peace and Your teaching. I hear You and thank You for being near. In You Jesus I find power and I rejoice in Your Holy Spirit. Thank You Father, Lord of heaven and earth for revealing Yourself to me. Teach me and keep my eyes on You and fill me with Your light. I love you with all of my heart, all of my soul, all of my strength and all of my mind. Amen
