hope to make this a quick one. In this hectic period, I thank God for teaching me a lesson. With many things around me, calling out for my attention - Homeschooling schedule to be settled, Bible School Homework to be done, Easter Outreach Powerpoint, Practice the Violin for CCWO this Sun, Admin work for CM, Vibe and Uth Ministry...the list goes on. Admist all this, God has reminded me of that one needful thing.
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
God has been reminding me, Mel. Stop, wait. Have you remembered your one needful thing? Have you spent time with Me today? I was waiting for you, I still am. Come and sit and my feet. Cast your burdern upon Me, because I care for you. With tears streaming down my face, I say, Yes, Lord. I'll come. I'm coming. I'll come everyday to sit and Your feet. To do that one needful thing and to hear what You have for me. Two weeks have past with me forgotting the one needful thing. This week, by God's grace, I want to remember that one needful thing-and put it into practice!
Another verse God has placed in my heart is Philippians 4:6-7:
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Oh, how I so need this verse. To be careful for nothing, to worry about nothing, but commit it all to God.
Dear Friend, how about you? Have you remebered that one needful thing? Have you been sitting at the feet of our Saviour? Have you been commiting everything to God with prayer?
I hope you have. (: if not, why not start this very moment?
