Battling Distractions
Every day I drive the same highway to and from the office, and every day I see an alarming number of distracted drivers. Usually theyre talking on the phone or texting, but I have also seen people reading the newspaper, putting on makeup, and eating a bowl of cereal while trying to maneuver a car at 70+ miles per hour! In some circumstances, distractions are fleeting and harmless. In a moving vehicle, they can kill.
Sometimes distractions can be a problem in our relationship with God. In fact, that was the concern Jesus had for His friend Martha. She was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made for a meal (Luke 10:40 niv). When she complained about her sister Marys lack of help (apparently due to her devotion to Christ and His teaching), Jesus told her, Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her (vv.41-42).
Marthas distractions were well-intentioned. But she was missing the opportunity to listen to Jesus and enjoy His presence. He is deserving of our deepest devotion, and He alone can fully enable us to overcome any of lifes distractions.
Lord, I want a heart like Marysthat takes
time to sit at Your feet to learn from You and be
close to You. And I want a heart like Marthas
that takes time to serve You, the One I love.
If you want to be miserable, look within; distracted, look around; peaceful, look up.
: Marthas distractions in Luke 10 brought a loving challenge from Jesus. But after the death of her brother Lazarus (John 11:17-27), we see that she was fully focused on Him. She affirmed her confidence that Jesus had a special relationship with the Father (v.22) and then declared her belief in the coming resurrection (v.24). Ultimately, she voiced her clear conviction that Jesus is the Son of God (v.27).
