Luke 10:41-42 (NLT) But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! 42 There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”
There are plenty of details to worry about. Some of them are very important, but most are simply distractions.
You worry about too many things. Get upset about the details and miss the big picture.
Apparently the world is in an economic downturn…. details.
Don’t forget that ‘this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs’ (Phil 4:19) is the ONE thing you should be concerned about.
Mark Smallcombe tweeted this yesterday: “My latest thought! Like a bow, we sometimes have to experience retraction before the launch. Your aim is improved thru the agony of tension”
Tension, details, stress, worries are intended to drive you to the ONE thing you need to be concerned about.
Don’t stress about all the details, get firm about the ONE thing.
And that ONE thing is: (drum roll please…….)
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33 (NLT)
Lean is better.
