"Distracted
By Many Things"
Now as they went on their way, he entered
a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She
had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's fee and listened to what he was
saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and
asked, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the
work by myself? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her,
"Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is
need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better
part, which will not be taken away from her."
Luke 10:38-42
We all juggle things, both men and women.
Life is too busy at times. We should think of the role we all play, as men and
women of Christ, and understand and appreciate the demands placed on us.
Men, you can help women find the time to
be with Jesus by pitching in with the daily activities. Women, choose to stop
the daily juggling long enough to spend a few moments with the Lord.
In olden days women would put dishes in
the sink and let them soak. Today that is a good time to take the Bible and
soak up what is inside.
