"But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me." 41 But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her." (Luke 10:40-42 RSV) We were never created to be all things, to all people, at all times! We can only be all we were created to be for the people to whom we have been assigned, and to those who have been assigned to us. Stay in your lane and don't overreach!
PRAYER: Lord, we are challenged daily in many areas, but especially when dealing with people. Help us discern our proper place and keep us from being distracted from the unnecessary. Amen!
Gal 5:13-14. . . .For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants of one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." RSV
