Thursday Ponderings

23rd August 2012

Luke 10:38-42 tell the story of two sisters. Jesus drops in for a visit and Mary sits at His feet listening to Him whilst her sister makes preparations for the meal. Martha complains to Jesus that Mary has left her to do all the work but Jesus says that Mary has chosen the best thing.

How often do we fill our lives with church meetings, church activities and leave out the most important thing - spending time with God? Of course there is a place for church meetings and house groups and prayer meetings but sometimes we miss out doing the things that God would have us do like visiting those in prison or hospital, feeding the hungry, befriending the lonely because we simply don’t have any time to do those things after we’ve been to all our church meetings.

So take time out to ask God which meetings He wants you to attend, you may be surprised at the result. And then if He frees up some time for you ask Him what He wants you to do instead, it may be joining the local golf club so you can tell people there about Jesus or it may be spending time with your family. But you won’t know until you ask.
