“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.
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27
Are you going through a season of disruptions? According to the Merriam Webster, disruption is “the act or process of disrupting something: a break or interruption in the normal course or continuation of some activity, process, etc.” You may be experiencing a disruption in your sleep, a disruption at your work, or a disruption in your family.
When we experience these disruptions, we tend to hold on to them. By that I mean we just continue allowing whatever it is to disrupt our lives. Our focus switches to the problem instead of to the solution.
We should not allow these disruptions to change our focus. Faith is keeping your eyes on God when everything around you is falling apart.
Jeremiah 29:13 states, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart.”
Don’t let the disruptors in your lives change your focus. Continue to pray for more focus on God and the rest will be taken care of!
“We are not a product of our circumstances. We are a product of our decisions.” John Hagee
I listened to a sermon series by John Hagee. He made this statement above and it really made me think about a lot of things in my life.
We tend to blame how we are on things like how we were raised, things that happened to us as a child, trials that we went through, etc. For example, I remember myself saying things like “I am that way because this… happened to me.”
I do think that going through problems in our life builds character and makes us stronger. However, I do believe that the decisions we make affect our lives.
My husband loves to give our kids the choice speech. Although I do not think our kids like the speech as much as he enjoys giving it.
Looking back, I can remember many of my decisions good or bad affected my life. Sometimes the decisions affected my life for many years, others just for a few days. I wish I could tell you I learned from all of my bad decisions. I cannot!
Proverbs 21:5 states: “The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, but everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.”
Be aware of hasty decisions in your life that lead you down the wrong pathway.
