It's Your Choice

My prayer for the past week has been for focus. I have been asking God to help me not to be distracted by the worries of this world. Things like school work, friends, etc. When I'm alone I want to be able to completely make time and focus on God. In my prayer, God took me to Luke 10: 38-42. This is the story of Martha and Mary in Martha's house and how even though there was so much work to be done Mary chose to sit at Jesus' feet and listen to what he said. Martha was distracted by all the preparations and asked for Mary's help.

Jesus replied by saying, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary Has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

Ultimately it is up to us to decide what is most important in our lives. Too often do we think that things such as school work are our priority but God is always the best choice. Putting God first and above all things shows the trust that he will teach us management and place our lives in perfect order.

Also what I gained from this message was that the word is our daily bread and Jesus fills us with living water. we all know that if you don't eat or drink water for a week or so you may be a tad bit hungry and even weak. Our immune system becomes weak and we are more susceptible to geting sick. The same applies to our spiritual diet. Without our the word we are weak and things like sickness, worry, stress and worst of all sin are given the room to move in.

We have to stay full. Choose whats better for us. The benefits of that choice will never be taken from us.

Thank You Lord!
