Serving & Sitting

S ~ But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”  Luke 10:40

O ~ What is it about serving that makes us feel like others should help us, the feeling that if we are serving, everyone else should be too. If Martha chose to serve Jesus, good for her. And if Mary chose to serve, good for her.

A ~ I need to both serve Him, and be with Him. This must not be based on what others around me are doing. I need to find the balance, the priority of both. The key is the presence of Jesus in my serving, and in my sitting. I'm sure He is honored by both.

P ~ Lord, help me to find a good balance of serving You and being with You. You are my life.
