DISTRACTED

Luke 10:40 (NKJV) 40  But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me."
   Recently someone responded, "I am too busy for church, besides I believe in God, He knows that." Oh, the business of living today, no time for spiritual renewal, just enough time to do what I want, a hurried saturday night church service, a weekend packed, me time!
   The scriptures reveal man has not changed in his attitude toward God, since the fall into self centered living. Adam rushed to sin and lost His place with God, Jacob hurried into a life of work and no time for God, the Israelites were so busy making life about them, they had no time for God, Saul was so self centered, he had no time for God, Herrod was too busy running a nation, he had no time for God.
   What is keeping you from giving God, His time? Jesus said to Martha, "You are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her." Luke 10:41-42 (NKJV) have you really given God a place in your heart or just made a way for time, to take from you what you never had? Are you Martha minded or Mary oriented?
Heavenly Father, we need time with you as much as we need air to live, we need that special alone place that You might renew us and provide spiritual strength for the day. Help us Lord to put away that which is passing away and look to You for what we really need. Amen
