Doing A Day With God Series

I am finding in my quiet time the conviction of the Spirit challenging me to look at how I am utilizing the time, talents and skills. Am I doing what I want and think and feel is right? Or am I doing what is in God’s will for me? How will I answer Him when He asks?

I know that I am not taking the time to listen to Him and then receive the best that He has planned for me. It makes me wonder how many times I have missed His blessings over the years because of my own drive, ambition, and goals. I’m asking God to change me from my desire to please others or myself before pleasing Him who made me.

I am in the process of evaluating how I will spend the rest of my life. I am rearranging my priorities. I have completed a commitment I made to an industry trade association where I have been active for the last 8 yrs. I will be stepping back from other volunteer opportunities & causes in the next few weeks. I am trying to leave my time, my mind, and my will open to His calling. I see what Jesus has done with a sinner like me to this point. I wonder what He would have me do to further His kingdom NOW.

Today: Doing a day with Jesus. If you’ve opened your Bible to Luke 10, you’ll notice that we’re going to be thinking about Mary Martha and Jesus.

Martha lived with her sister, Mary, and their brother Lazarus. Their home was a place that Jesus had been many times, a place that he knew He was loved and accepted. In the home of Martha, Mary and Lazarus Jesus and his disciples sit down for some relaxation away from the press of the crowds.

On this occasion, the two sisters invited Jesus to a meal at their house. Martha, the older of the two, gets busy with preparing and serving while Mary gets caught up in conversation with Jesus. A conflict quickly arises between the two sisters. Let’s read…

38 Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.
