As i sit in quiet this morning thinking about what Jesus taught his dear friend, Martha, I can almost hear Him saying to the whole world right now, “you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing.” (Luke 10:41-42)
How many of us know what, or who, that one thing is? And how many of us are anxious and worried over finances, work, catching Covid, getting the vaccine or not getting it, what our friends are thinking of us, the choices certain family members are making which we don’t agree with… and most especially whether what we are doing each day is actually the right thing for our life and the lives of those around us?
What if we did an experiment and said, “Ok God, I literally surrender ALL of this to you … I give you all my thoughts, worries, anger, grudges; all of my finances and/or all of my debt; all of my kindness, good thoughts, service to others and love. Then at each moment I will ask myself, ‘what is the next right thing to do’ and I’ll do that, over and over again. In all of this I beg you to show me that you’re here. Please show me in some tangible way that you are in control in a way that I never could be.”
This could be the start to a whole new way of living. This could be the start of living ‘the better part’ of my life!
“Glorify the Lord with me,
let us together extol his name.
I sought the Lord, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears. “ psalm 34:3-4
