Daily Thoughts - Listen
"Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me." The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her." Luke 10:40-42
Both Mary and Martha are with Jesus, both are hearing what Jesus is saying. Mary, is content to sit and listen, not concerned with anything other than being in His presence. Martha is busy, lots to do but her focus is Mary and her lack of concern. She is not content to just be.
Each day, we visit, I listen with the minds eye and try to glean the message of God. He knows all and He teaches all, are we willing to come before God and listen. Only in listening to God will He transform us. If Martha doesn't listen to Jesus, she will continue missing the message. If Mary listens, she will hear what is being said.
Life happens, we are not in control of its outcome other than what is put in front of us. Do not miss God speaking to you this day, are you on the right path or are you too busy focused on self to not hear?
Dear Father, You begin speaking as I wake up, I see You in the morning and through out the day. Each day is a new adventure, may I be attentive to Your voice. Prayers for a eye that needs healing, You are God Almighty, in this You are making straight on crooked lines. Thank You Jesus for another day, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Victory, Pray for us.
Saint Joesph, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
