I have definitely been Martha at one time in my life. Those were some very tiring and exhausting days. 😮💨 but thank God for His Grace and mercy. 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Even Jesus went up to pray early in the morning and we know He’s our great example.
I always thought I ”got” Luke 10 38-42. I believe when I was younger I lived more as Mary, but reflecting on this lesson I realize i have become more Martha than Mary letting life’s stresses & demands warp my priorities.
The beautiful thing is that we can choose different once we become aware. How will you make the shift back to His feet and what needs to be put in place to prevent going back to the distraction and busy-ness of Martha?
This study is a start. I’m making it a priority to start my day in the Abide study, reading through your thoughts multiple times & meditating on the Bible verses. Also, a friend recommended “A Diary of Private Prayer” by John Baillie and I am using that as a devotional.
