mary or martha?
Luke 10:41-42
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed-or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
honestly, I think I have been having the martha syndrome. :( you see, there are so many things that needs to be done! and if I were to not do it, what if nobody did? some tasks are entrusted to me, others can only be done by me because I have the materials, and others are initiated by me, so its only right that I do it. But I am getting really tired here, and I have been compromising on Quiet time and I hate it. :(
And I think why I am tired is because I haven't been spending enough time with God.
But you see, I am finding it very hard to find the balance between mary and martha. I mean, I can't just throw away my responsibilities. then I appear without my work done then what am I to say? "Oh, I needed to sit at the feet of Jesus..." then everyone can just say that to get out of their responsibilities.
Yet I can't go on like this, like martha. I'll get angry and bitter. At God even.
God, help me!
And I just wasted time to type this. But I figured this would take lesser time than to pen it on to my journal. besides, I still need to find something on the internet.
Dear God, my prayer is that you help me to remember what is the one important thing, and that is to be near to you. I know that you hear every single word of my prayer and I know that you are always there and that all I need is to draw near to You. I apologise for the times I didn't, simply because I was so tired and just wanted to sleep. God, please give me strength to finish all the tasks entrusted to me. Please also grant me wisdom to properly understand my school work that I am getting a bit stressed of. I know that You mean me well, always. Keep me close to You and be my strength, God.
In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. :)
And God? Thank you for letting me get Forensic Science this morning. :) Love You.
