Today was one of those days.. my plate was running over. I had a million things to do. I had an 8 hour work day followed by 3 hours of class. It felt like all day I was in constant motion, my body couldn't keep up with my mind. There just didn't seem to be a moment to stop and re-group. On the drive home, I was reflecting on the day and thinking about what I could blog about tonight. That's when God whispered to me "shhh..be still." Then the story of Mary and Martha came to mind. Jesus was at their home teaching. Martha was busy preparing food for all the guests, but Mary was so enraptured by the words of Jesus that she left her sister alone to do the preparing while she sat and listened to Jesus. Martha realized this and came out and told Jesus to make Mary come and help her. But Jesus' response was that Mary had chose the better thing.
I was convicted. In all the busyness of my day I hadn't taken time to quiet and still myself before Jesus. Granted I had prayed throughout the day and listened to a sermon in the car. These were things that I did as I multi-tasked, they weren't the focus of my undivided attention. It's so easy to get caught up in the speed and noise of life and neglect to follow Mary's example and make fellowship with God a priority.
With that said, this is a short blog tonight I've got some fellowshipping to do. Good night and God bless!
