Are You Too Busy?

“The Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed-or indeed only one.” Isaiah 40:29

Have you ever had one of those days from the time you wake up you are literally running around like crazy trying to get everything done? I know that I have! I literally spend my entire weekend getting ready for the next week. By Sunday I am so tired. 

I want to be the best mom, the best wife, the best Mae Mae, and the best daughter. I have a problem with stretching myself too thin. 

Martha was making preparations for Jesus and His disciples to come to her house. She had a sister called Mary. Mary just “sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what He said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made” (Luke 10: 39-40). Martha talked to the Lord and asked Him why he didn’t care that she was doing all of the work. The Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed.” (Luke 10: 41). 

I can relate to Martha. What about you? 

Maybe we are trying to be what God never designed us to be. Maybe we need to be more like Mary and sit at the feet of Jesus.
