Distractions

Luke 10:38-42 (NIV) - 38  As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39  She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40  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!" 41  "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42  but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

Martha desired to be a good hostess to Jesus.

Her desire, however, became a distraction from being with Jesus.

Distractions are everywhere.

They take many forms.

Some distractions seem good.

Some distractions seem right.

Some distractions are fun.

Some distractions are religious.

Some distractions are obviously bad for us.

Sometimes we follow them anyway.

Sometimes we follow them into dark places.

Distracted discipleship is a dangerous thing.

It takes our eyes off Jesus.

Let’s not go there.

My prayer for you today is that you are focused on Jesus.

Expecting God’s Best,
