Too Busy To Be Blessed

We are bombarded daily with choices and risk becoming increasingly preoccupied and self-absorbed. The Gospel of Luke, Chapter Ten introduces us to two extraordinary women who invited Jesus into their home. On this occasion, Martha was too busy to be blessed. On the other hand, her sister Mary ends the evening sitting at the feet of Jesus listening to the Word. While Martha was pulled and pressured by her work and the immediate needs of the moment, Mary withdraws from what she was doing and sits quietly at the feet of Jesus and listens to His teaching. She overcame the “attraction of distraction” and so can you! This message tells us how.
