Leviticus 11-12, Psalms 15, Luke 10:21-42
What God said to me – You can become so wrapped up in your doing “for” Me that you neglect actually being “with” Me. There are many day-to-day things that need to be done in order to survive in the world – food, clothing, shelter. But don’t let these things distract you from our relationship. Even ministry can be a distraction from our relationship when your focus is on the doing and not on Me. That is why you need to include Me in all you do. This lifelong conversation is not just a timeout of your day to seek Me, it is an ongoing seeking and talking and listening and including Me as you go about the things you need to do. This is how you seek Me with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength. This is how you choose the good part as Mary did and not the busy part as Martha did.
