Good morning! How are we faithing? Sometimes we get focused on things to the point we do ourselves harm. We miss the joy in a situation or we fail to see, like the old saying, that you are in a forest because of the tree. Now don't get me wrong here, we do have chores that need to be done but we have to count it all joy like the Bible says or we may miss a blessing for ourselves or others. Even when doing drudgery type of things our attitude towards them can bless others and our self. Whining and complaining only makes things harder. Look at this;
Luk 10:38-42
Now as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came up to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. But the Lord answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things: but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
There's so many things Martha could have done differently to enhance Jesus' visit but she got focused on the chore and not why the chore was before her. How would you have handled this situation differently? remember BennR family...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for showing us a better way. Thank you for your Word. Lord we ask for peace and wisdom in all we do today. Help us see what is before us with your eyes. Lord we lift those hurting today and ask an out pouring of your Holy Spirit on us, in Jesus name, amen
