Scripture
" 'Martha, Martha,' the Lord answered, 'you are worried and upset about many things, but only one this is needed. Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be taken away from her.'
Luke 10:41-42
Observation
Martha was upset with Mary because Mary was sitting at Jesus' feet while Martha was busy preparing for his company. Martha was so upset that Mary was not helping that she asked Jesus to tell Mary to help her.
Application
For the last 8 days I have worried myself with chores, schoolwork, and having a cold so much that I have not taken any time to sit with Jesus, read His word, and pray. This scripture is an excellent reminder to me to make time for Jesus my #1 priority and to realize that no matter how crazy busy my life gets, I need to stop and sit with Jesus everyday.
Prayer
Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for this reminder of just how important it is to spend time with you. Please help me to not be so worried about unnecessary chores and schoolwork - these can wait until I have made time to be with you. Thank you, Jesus. -Amen
