And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, Luke 10:39,40a KJV
Sometimes the very thing that distract us from our Lord Jesus Christ is a good thing by itself. Serving the Lord is noble. It is our life's purpose for which we are called. We rejoice serving the Lord who means everything to us. But at what expense?
God wants us to serve Him by drawing the power from Him. Our union with Christ is the power that needs to fuel our service. But we get caught up with the task of doing things, we forget all that. We forget the most important thing is to continue resting under His feet.
When the task at hand is disrupting our fellowship with the Lord, we need to pause and ask ourselves: are we doing the things we do for ourselves or the Lord? If it is service for the Lord - then let Him shine. Let your vision be only Him.
