Choose the better part today!

There are many things that we spend our time doing each day. Many of them are good things, but that doesn't mean they are always the "best" things.
In Luke 10, is the story of Mary and Martha. Jesus came to visit their house. Martha was worried and troubled trying to make preparations for her visitors. Mary just wanted to sit at the feet of Jesus. Martha complained about this to Jesus and Jesus said to her, "Martha, Martha you are careful and troubled about many things, but Mary has chosen the better part and it shall not be taken away from her!"
This is an awesome story! Now there is certainly a time for attending to our responsibilities but many times we can just be "busy" and the better thing would be to sit at the feet of Jesus. Or maybe the better thing would be to drop everything and play a game with your child, or call a friend. I'm just saying, let's don't be busy, let's be fruitful, let's be sensitive to the voice of God for what He is saying to do each moment. Many times a day, I hear God saying, "Be still, and know that I am God. Just be still. It's OK to be still!"
Let's choose the better part today!
