Mary, Edwina and Martha

2 Chronicles 31 vs.21 "In everything that he undertook in the the service of God's temple and in obedience to the law and the commands, he sought his God and worked wholeheartedly. And so he prospered.

In todays world, I so want to be like Mary, always finding ways to worship and sit at the feet of Jesus. Mary just like Edwina and Martha had so much stuff going on in her life, her home, her family, her job all the daily things that would keep her away from sitting at the feet of Jesus, but Mary realized the thing she needed the most in order to make all these other things fall into place, was just sitting at the feet of Jesus, taking care of him and the relationship that she had with him. She knew that if she kept the relationship with Jesus first and foremost in her life, then all the other things in her life would fall into place. Don't get me wrong I enjoy being like Martha, being distracted at times and making preparations for my family, my home and other areas of my life. But sometimes being like Martha, I can get into trouble. I think alot of times, nobody wants to help me prepare for all the things in my life. I am in this all alone. I even get mad at Jesus some times, just like Martha did. She said to Jesus in Luke chapter 10 vs. 40 "tell her to help me" Martha had a meal to prepare she was getting mad. But Jesus told her "you are worried about many things, but only one thing is needed". I pray that I will find a good combination of Mary, Edwina and Martha, so that not only will my home, family and things that I hold dear, be in order, but also my relationship with God will be the most important part of what makes me who I am.
