OUR MAIN CONCERN!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: ” But the Lord said to her, ‘ My dear Martha, you are upset over all these details! There is really only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it- and I won’t take it away from her.'” Luke 10:41

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Martha had invited Jesus and his disciples into her home and was in the kitchen working on a large meal while Mary, her sister, sat at the feet of Jesus listening to all he had to teach. Martha, with all of her anxiety, went to Jesus and asked him to tell Mary to come to the kitchen to help her with the meal. Jesus was quick to tell her that Mary was not doing wrong. She was only doing as she was supposed to do. She was learning from Jesus, and he was not going to take that away from her. It is easy to get ourselves caught up in our daily routines. We sometimes get so busy thinking of ourselves, and what we are doing, that we leave the most important thing behind us. Our focus is not to be this world but instead it is to be Jesus. It is what he teaches us and how we apply his teaching to our own lives. Our focus on Jesus gives us all the good and great results we need in life. It not only provides us a path to eternal life but also allows our worldly life to come into line. As we focus on Jesus, we are let Him take control of the steering wheel. We are to let him take care of our worldly problems. Just as Martha became so heavily involved with her meal we sometimes become too heavily involved in our worldly lives. When we do, we gain anxiety and worry. With Jesus we garner peace and joy. It is time to change our focus from us to Him. He is the main concern we are to focus on and not what we do in life. Our worldly life will fall into place once we let Jesus take over the reins. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
