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."
Luke 10:41-42 NLT Bible
Many of us have a 'Martha
mentality' and can identify with her. We are the ones who are caught up in a
hectic lifestyle, being busy all the time. We run around organizing, directing,
serving and doing good things for everyone, but sadly enough, we sometimes miss
out on the most important thing.…......spending time with God. This is exactly
what happened when Jesus visited Martha and her sister, Mary. Martha was
preoccupied and distracted with serving and taking care of everything, while
Mary was simply content to sit and fellowship with Jesus.
Some
of us who identify with Martha try to justify being busy because we rationalize
that we're serving others, doing what needs to be done and it's all for God.
However, there must be balance. We cannot allow busyness to keep us from
spending time with God. This is what He desires most of all and it's what we
need to grow in our walk with Him. Intimacy with Jesus has to be our ultimate
priority and we need to find the balance between being constantly busy like
Martha or simply being content to spend time with Him like Mary. Ultimately, we
must recognize that time spent with God restores, renews and refreshes us and gives us the strength and energy to
effectively serve Him.
Thank
you Lord for Your faithfulness. May I always put you first in my life. Let me
not get caught up in doing things and being so busy that I neglect spending
time in fellowship and communion with You. Help me to find the balance that I
need in my life. I love you, Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!

Ephesians 5: 11-20 NIV
11.
Have nothing
to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
12.
It is shameful
even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
13.
But everything
exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes
a light.
14.
This is why it
is said:
“Wake
up, sleeper,
Rise
from the dead,
And
Christ will shine on you.”
15.
Be very
careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,
16.
Making the
most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
17.
Therefore do
not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
18.
Do not get
drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the
Spirit,
19.
Speaking to
one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music
from your heart to the Lord,
20. Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For
everything that is hidden will eventually be brought into the open, and every
secret will be brought to light.
Mark 4:22 NLT Bible
Who are we
when no one is watching, when we're far away from scrutiny of any kind? As
children of God, this is a thought provoking question, one that warrants some soul
searching. There are many people who give the appearance of living good, holy
and righteous lives at work, at church and in the company of their friends, but
life takes a different and ugly twist when they are at home with their loved
ones. Suddenly, a different person emerges, one that may be cold, harsh,
unkind, domineering, disrespectful and abusive. Others may have secret
relationships, indulge in pornography or lewd jokes and think that no one knows
about their behaviour. However, God sees everything and eventually every secret
will be brought to light and when this happens, people are hurt and lives are
destroyed.
We need to
determine if our testimony as believers would be tarnished by our words and
actions when we are alone and no one is seeing us. If we are guilty of this,
then we need to repent and purpose in our hearts to live authentic Christian
lives all the time, obeying God's laws and precepts. Our mindset must be that
Jesus sees everything we do and our lives need to be pure, good and holy. We
are flawed and may fail at times, but spending time with God, through prayer
and reading His Word is the key to changing our behaviour.
Thank you
Lord for watching over me. You see everything I do and there is nothing that I
can hide from you. Lord, I pray that my words and actions will be pleasing to
you at all times, wherever I am and in any circumstance. I love you, Jesus.
Amen!
Be Blessed!

Psalm 15:1-5 NLT
1.
Who may worship in your sanctuary,
LORD?
Who may enter your
presence on Your holy hill?
2.
Those who lead blameless lives and do
what is right,
speaking the truth
from sincere hearts.
3.
Those who refuse to gossip
or harm their
neighbors
or speak evil of
their friends.
4.
Those who despise flagrant sinners,
and honor the
faithful followers of the LORD,
and keep their
promises even when it hurts.

Those who lend money without charging
interest,
and who cannot be
bribed to lie about the innocent.
