Only One Thing Is Needed

God says,

Do not let distractions of life, of day-to-day living, lead you away from Me.

 Do not be weighed down by problems, trials, frustrations.

 I AM the one to go to at all times.

 I AM the one to carry your burdens.

 Come, devote time with Me and I will strengthen you to face whatever comes

 Do not think about this and that.

 Distractions come in many forms and each and all are meant to take you away from the very private, intimate relationship I have with you– souring it, dampening it.

 In Me, with Me, through Me, you have everything you now need and will ever need.

“And Jesus said, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.’ ’’ - Luke 10:41-42

“One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple.” – Psalm 27:4 

Mary has chosen that good part, the one thing that is needed --

To be in The Lord’s Presence, in the midst of His glory, to listen and learn and apply that which He teaches.

Have you chosen that good part too, the one thing needed?

 Or are you like Martha, worried and troubled about many things, letting other things take precedence over that one thing?
