Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me.” Luke 10:40

Like Martha, the many chores and tasks I am responsible for can feel burdensome. In my anxiety to make sure things get done, I forget God is with, in, and around me. I become a human “doing” instead of a human “being.”

Today I will choose “the better part.” I will make quiet time with the Lord my priority. When I have tasks and chores to perform, I will intentionally practice being present to God as I accomplish them.
