There is a story in Luke 10:38-42, where Jesus had stopped by to visit His closest friends. The place was home to sisters Mary and Martha. I think Jesus found peace and rest in their home.
At this setting, Mary was sitting at Jesus' feet, relaxed and listening to all He was saying. She was enjoying being near Jesus and was taking it all in. Martha, on the other hand, was busy, and very focused. She was worrying over many things. Her priorities were in the kitchen working on dinner and had probably worked all morning cleaning and preparing for Jesus' visit. She was more concerned about the details and priorities that she missed something a lot more important which was enjoying the time with Jesus.
Sometimes we are like Martha. We become so wrapped up in our busyness, worries, and thoughts that we miss time with Jesus. We lose our joy and peace. Our priorities are out of order. There is one thing Jesus seeks from us, and it is spending time with Him and listening to His voice.
Are your priorities out of order?
Love in Christ,
Tera
