TEXT: Luke 10:42.
“But there’s only one thing you need. Mary has chosen what is better, and it is not to be taken away from her.”
You can be busy without good result. *What counts is not just doing the right thing, but doing the right thing at the right time.* Activity is not always productivity, and movement is not always progress.
In the story of Mary and Martha, Martha was occupied with many good tasks, yet she missed the most important moment - sitting at the feet of Jesus.
Many believers today are overwhelmed with schedules, responsibilities, and even church activities, yet their personal fellowship with God is suffering.
Jesus did not rebuke Martha for serving; He corrected her for being overwhelmed with it. Service is good, but devotion is better. When you major in what heaven considers minor, you end up exhausted and unfulfilled.
But when you major in the major, which is God’s presence, His Word, and His voice, every other aspect of life finds alignment.
The “one thing” Jesus spoke about is priority. It is choosing intimacy over interruption, presence over pressure, and purpose over performance.
*Life will always present many options, but destiny is fulfilled by choosing what truly matters.* When you sit with Jesus, you gain clarity, wisdom, peace, and direction that no amount of busyness can produce.
Today, evaluate your priorities. Are you doing many things but neglecting the one thing that is needful? Are you too busy to pray, read and study the Bible? Are you too busy to pay attention to the Holy Spirit?
Remember, what you consistently prioritize shapes your spiritual growth and determines your impact. Choose the better part, it will never be taken from you.
*BIBLE READING* :
Luke 10:38-42.
*PRAYER FOCUS:*
Ask God for the grace to discern what truly matters. Pray for discipline to prioritize His presence above distractions and for wisdom to align your daily activities with His will.
