Don’t be Distracted

But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”

— Luke 10:40

In our story today, Martha is described as distracted. Jesus was teaching a group of people at her house, and Mary, Martha’s sister, was listening to him. Martha was doing what anyone would do when a group came to their home. She was making preparations to serve her guests. She was being a good host! But when she complained that Mary was not helping her, Jesus said Mary had chosen what was better. What did that mean?

Well, Martha was distracted by all sorts of things that had to be taken care of. And those things were good and maybe even necessary. But even good and necessary things can distract us from fellowshipping with Jesus.

Yes! Discernment is needed, and we must be careful not to get distracted.

PRAYER

Lord, help us not to be distracted from keeping our main focus on you in all that we do. In Jesus’ name Amen.
