Lord,
Doesn't It Seem Unfair To You
That
My Sister Just Sits Here
While
I Do All The Work?
Scripture
Luke
10
38 As
Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they
came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him
into her home.
40 But
Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came
to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my
sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and
help me.”
42 There is
only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it,
and it will not be taken away from her.”
Observation
When
we compare ourselves with others we will always come up short!
Martha
thought she was doing the most important thing that day and she was
very upset that her sister Mary wasn't helping her, but actually Mary
was doing exactly what she should have been doing – she was
spending time with Jesus.
Busyness
might seem important, it might make us feel important, but taking the
time to spend with Jesus, sitting at the Lord's feet, is the most
important thing that you and I can do. For me, what I am
doing right now is the most important part of my day.
There
is only one thing worth being concerned about today - have you
discovered it?
Psalm
46:10
“Be still,
and know that I am God! I will be honored
by every nation. I will be honored
throughout the world.”
Psalm
37:7
Be still in
the presence of the Lord,
and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people
who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.
Application
I
will start every day by being still in the presence of my Lord.
How
about you? Will you make a commitment to the Lord to spend time with
Him every day?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, don't ever let me get so busy that I neglect to spend time
with You in Your Word every day. Don't let me go a day without
opening up Your Word and spending time with You.
I
pray for any person who may read this blog today. Help them to spend
time in Your Word every day. Help them to grow in Christ. May Your
face shine of them today.
