No More Mowing

(View Daily Bread)
Luke 10:38-42 (NIV)
At the Home of Martha and Mary

38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"

41 "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

Knowing our priorities in life is important. For a couple of months this year I was too caught up with my job, my technological interest, news, and stuff like that. Reading them on a daily basis almost seems more important than the bible.

Though what I did wasn't wrong (working and reading), it certainly wasn't the most important thing that I had to do. I'm glad I've realigned my priorities to do what's most important. Daily communion with my Lord.

If you're like me, always giving excuses that you're busy, pause and think for a moment. What's more important? Is it your daily pursuit of earthly things? Or spending time with our eternal God our Father?
