Sermon excerpt:
One of my favorite quotes is from The Lord of the Rings when Bilbo Baggins says, “I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.”
THAT’S what a “Martha moment” feels like—completely overwhelmed and over-committed and thinking that you’ve got to hold everything together or it’s all going to fall to pieces, never to be whole again. I know a lot of you feel that way because you have said it to me in your own way.
Sometimes we get so busy that what we’re doing loses its purpose, and we begin to believe the lie that WE have to hold all things together.
When that happens, we need to stop and have a Mary moment, remembering the truth is that “Jesus himself is before all things, and in HIM all things hold together.” In the end, he WILL hold all things together, especially when we can’t.
