Too Many Things to Do
March 9, 2008
Pastors only work for one hour on Sunday. If you believe that I have some ocean front property in Arizona I would like to cut you a deal on. The truth is that we all have more ”things to do” than we can possibly get around to doing. There is a secret to keeping a level head through it all. We should work less and enjoy more! How???
Once there was a woman who sat at Jesus feet while her sister griped at his feet. “And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus feet and heard His word. 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. And Jesus answered and said to her, Martha, 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 10:39-42)
There is a vast difference between working for and living for Jesus. We will not live for Him unless we spend quality time with Him daily. I make it fine as long as I guard that good part. When the good part is removed many things become a crushing work load. Some people really do not have time for God. I have been there. If that describes you, restructure your life rather than leave Christ out.
