The Lord answered, “Martha, Martha! You are worried and upset about so many things, but only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen what is best, and it will not be taken away from her.” ~ Luke 10:41-42 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
Our assignment is to relax and listen to Jesus rather than to work hard trying to prove our worth to God -- or to ourselves.PRAYER:
Dear God -- Thank you for welcoming broken and inadquate people to be your friends. It is tempting to try and prove that we are worthy of such attention. I know this because I slip into doing this without even thinking about it. I want recognition. Please help me to reset my priorities so that I focus on being with you and listening to you. I want to live a quiet unhurried life totally filled with trust in you. Amen.
