When Jesus was in the home of Mary and Martha, He reminded Martha that she had become distracted by what was ‘going on in the house’ rather than focusing on ‘who’ was in the house…
Luke 10:41-42 (NASB)
41Ā But the Lord answered and said to her,Ā āMartha, Martha, you areĀ worried and distracted by many things;Ā 42Ā butĀ onlyĀ one thing is necessary; forĀ Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.ā
Think about those who call themselves Christians.
Think about those who claim they make their decisions based on the bible.
Think about those who claim that they speak for God.
Has the enemy distracted believers from the core mission and message that Yeshua the Messiah gave us…
Matthew 28:19-20 (NKJV)
19Ā GoĀ [a]therefore andĀ make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,Ā 20Ā teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I amĀ with you always,Ā evenĀ to the end of the age.āĀ [b]Amen.
Is making disciples a priority?
Is sharing God’s love a priority?
Is ‘being the peace’ in chaos a priority?
Is sharing God’s forgiveness a priority?
Is sharing God’s gift of salvation a priority?
Are we as believers repenting of our own sins? Or blaming EVERYTHING that’s wrong on ‘sinners’?
2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV)
14Ā if My people who areĀ called by My name willĀ humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways,Ā then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Have we forgotten that we are all sinners saved by grace?
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV)
8Ā For by grace you have been savedĀ through faith, and that not of yourselves;Ā it isĀ the gift of God,Ā 9Ā not ofĀ works, lest anyone shouldĀ boast.
Or, have we become distracted, just like Martha?
What do you think?
BE BLESSTIFIED!
