Scripture: And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things... Luke 10:41 KJV Application: We should know the rest of that story. While Martha was worried everything else, her sister Mary chose to focus on just one thing: learning and applying the teachings of Christ Jesus to her life. That's choosing the good part. That's the only thing that could never be taken from her. That's all that was necessary. We should do the same thing Mary did. We can do the same thing Mary did. Let's do it. Prayer: Christ Jesus, we choose to apply Your teaching on focusing on You and not life's worries. Amen. Scripture: Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness. James 3:18 NIV Application: Seeking peace with people we don't even know will bring blessings to us later. God wants us to be His representatives. Reflecting His love to those who know very little about us makes Him happy. And when God is happy, He pours a bounty of blessings our way. Prayer: We want to do our best to share peacefulness with strangers, Lord. Help us. Amen. Scripture: Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:13 NIV But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 6:15 NIV Application: Bearing grudges weighs us down and cripples our freedom. But God, Whom has forgiven more than anyone, shows us His better Way. Forgive and be free. Prayer: Let us taste the weightlessness You feel in forgiving others and ourselves, dear God. Amen. |
