Where is your Attention

As Jesus and His disciples were on their way, He came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to Him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. Luke 10:38 &39 The bible says, when you hear the Lord's voice hardened not your heart. Mary was not only listening to Jesus, she was also at His feet. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to Him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" Luke 10:40

"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered,"you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."Luke 10:41 It is not always what you do that matters. It's the reason in which you are doing what you do. Mary was concerned about Jesus that's why her undivided attention was on Jesus. But her sister was worried about things that was not important at this particular time.

We can do things in our own way and still miss our blessings. That is why God said,"seek Him first in all things." Our attention should be at the feet of Jesus. He want misled us in any way because He loves us.
