For Keeps

 

“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “You are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41-42

There are many things that can worry and upset us; troubles, hardships, and like Martha even busyness. I can so often identify with Martha and her misplaced focus. “Tracy, Tracy, you are worried and upset about many things. Things that seem good and important at that instance, but have no real lasting value. Oh, to be like Mary sitting at the feet of Jesus. Soaking in His presence, letting Him revitalize my soul.  When I make time with Him my number one priority I am then able to tend to the things of this world with a peaceful, proper perspective. Time with Jesus is always a wise investment, which holds eternal value. The treasures that come from these encounters will not be taken from us; they are for keeps.
