GOOD FRIDAY MORNING!!! It has been raining like crazy for a week here and our guys are getting anxious. We need 2 weeks of dry weather! Then this summer we will be begging for rain again!
S - Luke 10:41-42 But the Lord said to her, "My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details. There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her."
O - We are called not to be anxious over anything, to work as unto the Lord, and to Love our neighbor as ourself. And the culture called for Martha to stay where she belonged. I think this is why Jesus gently redirected her. This was all new to them and Mary just happened to be less afraid of what others thought.
A - I'm not a detail person but when it comes to teaching and working at our church I become laser focused on the task. There's one person who I depend on for a helper and many times she's not around during the class time because she's sort of being a "mary". She's not sitting and listening to teaching but she's out meting someone's need or talking with someone who needs some direction. Sometimes I get really frustrated because I think "come on I I I need your help here, NOW". It's really hard for to step back and realize she's being obedient and helping when someone needs it! Hard lesson for me to learn.
P - Father help me to be more sensitive to hear when you are speaking. Thank you for gently disciplining us and making us more like you.
We'll take some of that rain! Send it our way!
