But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
Luke 10:41-42
The semester started today for me and what a busy start it was.
I recently got an e-mail from a good friend of mine and she said that she was “such a Martha.” It’s amazing that she shared that with me yesterday. I believe it was the Holy Spirit prepping me for today, because honestly, I oftentimes am Martha more than Mary.
I’m having difficulty adjusting to busyness whereas this summer was so singularly focused. I must remember to work not out of anxiety, but rather serving out of love, the result of my being enthralled by Christ.
The first thing for our soul’s health, the first thing for his glory, and the first thing for our own usefulness, is to keep ourselves in perpetual communion with the Lord Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Gotta keep my eyes on the Gospel.
Father, help my unbelief that you will take care of things. You’re enough; everything else pales. Dad, please help me to listen to when I need to go and when I need to slow down. Help me to be obedient to you so that you would be given all the glory in my life!
