Are you a Mary or a Martha?

As we read the story of Mary and Martha in (Luke 10:38-42) we see how very different two sisters are. Martha was concerned for the work at the present and had no time for sitting w/ company. Mary was more interested in spending time w/ her company and felt that the work will be there later.

 ...a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught. But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, "Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me."But the Lord said to her, "My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her."
- Luke 10:38-42

Are we a Martha, where we are so busy with our daily lives and things of this world ? Or are we so busy with the work for God that we have no time to spend with God? Or are we a Mary, that was comes first for us is to sit at the feet of Jesus giving him our time and ourselves, and everything else can follow later?

You hear many wives complain that their husbands spend so much time at work trying to provide for them, that they have little to no time to spend with the family. These wives say they would rather have time alone with the one they love, than have them constantly working - Even though they are working for them.

God feels the same way about you. He would rather have time alone with the one He loves, than all of your work - Even when the work you are doing is really for Him. 

Yes God has called us for many different kind of works in our life but, he wants us to spend time with him first , giving of ourselves to him. He wants the very best of us not the left overs. When God created Adam and Eve he first created them to commune with him and then all else could follow afterward.

It is only in that time alone communing with you that He can give you the strength that you will need to be the person He designed you to be.

It is in the time you spend laying at His feet in fellowship with Him that your Father can truly clothe you in strength and dignity.

So it's your time to choose will you be a Mary or a Martha? I choose a Mary life.
