Manna for Your Morning

She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” — Luke 10:39-42 (NASB) Psalm 46:10a (NASB) says, “Cease striving and know that I am God…” All of our striving and busyness is a distraction and a ploy of the enemy to disconnect us from our heavenly Father. Choose to stay close and intimately connected to our great, compassionate God. Keep your heart open to listen to Him, and receive His wisdom and truth. When we stop thinking it’s all about us, and acknowledge, it’s all about Him, the rest of Psalm 46:10 unfolds in our lives: “I will be exalt...

And He was saying, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.” — Mark 14:36 (NASB) May we be so connected to the heart of the Father, that it's always about what He wills and less about what we want.

There are things we wish He would remove from our lives, but it's all according to His will and in His appointed time. Be committed to the cause of fulfilling the call of God for your life. Surrender your heart, your will, surrender your all, for His greater and higher purpose. Jesus gave His life on the cross and reconciled humanity back into fellowship with the Father. What great things will come out of your life, as a result of your obedience and sacrifice?

The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing. — Psalm 34:10 (NKJV) Seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides (Matthew 6:33 AMP). Instead of being so preoccupied with getting “stuff,” which is here today and gone tomorrow, focus on staying connected with and abiding in our eternal, Almighty God. No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11).
