Sometimes the greatest danger isn’t doing the wrong thing… but becoming so busy doing the right things that we miss Jesus.
Tomorrow, we enter the home of Martha, where hospitality, service and good intentions meet an important lesson about priorities.
Martha was working hard. She was giving, serving and trying to make everything right. Yet while she was busy preparing, her sister Mary had chosen to sit at Jesus’ feet and simply listen.
What would Jesus say when our serving becomes stressful? What happens when our desire to do things well leaves us worried, distracted and over-occupied? And could there be moments when Jesus is inviting us to put something down rather than pick something else up?
Busy Martha, the 10th devotional in the Conversations with Jesus series by Jill, invites us to pause and examine what is really taking our attention.
Tomorrow, discover why being busy isn’t necessarily the same as being fruitful—and why sometimes the better choice is simply to stop and be with Jesus.
