DON’T MISS THE MIRACLE - “And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.” Mary sat down at Jesus’ feet and listened to what He had to say. Jesus said Mary made the better choice. Jesus did not tell Martha not to work, but He did tell her not to be frustrated or have a bad attitude while she worked. Jesus wants you to work hard, but He also wants you to be wise enough to realize when you should stop all activity and not miss the miracle of the moment.

Don’t Miss the Miracle

From the book Power Thoughts Devotional - by Joyce Meyer

“And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.” — Luke 10:39

You will not enjoy the present moment and the gifts it contains if you don’t have a balanced attitude toward work. 

Luke 10:38– 42 tells the story of Jesus’ visit to the home of two sisters, Mary and Martha.

Martha was overly occupied and too busy (see Luke 10:40).

But Mary sat down at Jesus’ feet and listened to what He had to say.

Jesus said Mary made the better choice.

Jesus did not tell Martha not to work, but He did tell her not to be frustrated or have a bad attitude while she worked.

Jesus wants you to work hard, but He also wants you to be wise enough to realize when you should stop all activity and not miss the miracle of the moment.

Prayer Starter: 

Lord, help me to stay in balance and not miss the “miracle of the moment.”

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
