Bible Verse Of The Day:
"Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things.."
Luke 10:41
Thoughts On Today's Scripture:
Martha gets a bad rap as the “too-busy” sister, but she was much more than that. She loved Jesus, opened her home to Him, and gave her all in serving. Her mistake? Letting her stress crowd out her joy. Jesus didn’t scold her for working, He invited her to set aside anxiety and simply enjoy being with Him. He doesn’t want just what you do, but you. So, if you ever feel overwhelmed by your responsibilities, remember Martha. Jesus sees your hard work, but He’s inviting you to pause, breathe, and be present with Him. Your value isn’t in your chores, it’s in your relationship with Him.
Prayer:
Jesus, help me not to get so caught up in doing that I forget to be with You. Slow my heart today. Remind me that You care more about me than about my busy-ness. Amen.
Affirmation:
I am loved not for what I do, but for simply being with Jesus.
