Luke 10:38-42

“As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 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!”

“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[f] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Funny story huh? Here goes Martha thinking she’s telling on Mary and that Jesus will support her in telling Mary to come help her in the kitchen…and instead Jesus tells her, “Well, um Mary has chosen the good part and…I’m not going to take it away from her.” How many times do we put other things ahead of God and think nou gin yon bagay nap regle?(translation: we think we’re doing something) smh. If only we knew, all the things we have to do are not that important. At the end of the day, what matters is that we had time for God. Too often, we slack off and forget what matters. Don’t take it as passing judgment. I’m guilty of these things too. In fact, I’ve decided from now on to keep up with posting these things even if I have a lot to do and study for (hopefully the night before so that you guys can read them in the morning). The reason being is God always takes care of me, even with the things that I think I can’t do. So, next time think about that when you put God on the back burner. Would you like Him to do the same? If not, it’s time to make a change. ;-)
