Galatians 1:13-24
Psalm 139
Luke 10:38-42
“Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things.” Luke 10:41
Lord, I didn’t sleep very well last night. I woke up and my mind got busy-I was anxious and worried about many things. There is so much on my plate right now. I can appreciate Martha flying around the kitchen trying to make everything perfect-after all she must be hospitable to the Messiah. But when I take an objective look at all the stuff, I’m anxious about-it’s not all that important. In contrast to life and love and faith, it all kind of fades into the background. I realize that worry and anxiety are signs that my faith is weak. Lord, with your grace I can reorder my priorities. I can put you first. I can sit at your feet, like Martha’s sister, Mary and be enlightened with your word. Today, Lord, I open my heart to you, to my family and to those you have put into my life. You are welcome in my home every day. When you come to me, I want you to have all my attention and focus. May I make good choices in how I use this day—listening to and living your word. Amen.
