How many times have I spoken like Martha~ “tell them to help me and DO THEIR PART!”

I worry so much over what needs to be done.
I have been known to keep a bitter eye on those who I think could help out more.

Ever been there?

Luke 10:41-42

But the Lord replied to her, “Martha, Martha…you are worried and anxious about SO MANY THINGS but only ONE THING is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part that will not be taken from her”.

Mary chose to SIT STILL and BE with her Savior.

If I am not careful, my days can fill up so fast; my hours pass quickly with a rare minute to spare. The next thing I know is another day is gone and the next is about to begin.

I find myself questioning:

Is that THRIVING or EXISTING?

There are moments where tasks MUST GET DONE, but is that every moment of every day?

Taking the time to sit with my Savior

(reading His Word, admiring His creation, praising Him for His glory, thanking Him for His blessings, talking to Him about those things that have me anxious and worried)

allows THOSE TASKS to be better prioritized and more easily enjoyed.

Go figure.
Doing “nothing” makes doing “something” easier.

I guess it depends on who you’re keeping company with when you decide to BE STILL.
