Today, I think God spoke to me in Sunday School. The lesson was on Martha (the busy one) and Mary (the one who listened). Martha was so caught up in serving Jesus that she missed the lesson, and Mary sat down at Jesus' feet and listened. The point of the story was that we need to listen to God, instead of feeling like we have to be some kind of spiritual super-women.
I was having the Martha mentality (gotta get things done,right now, perfectly, for Jesus!) I needed the Mary mindset (Jesus, I'm open to your plans, and I'm listening.) I realized that instead of working on doing everything, I need to work on being what God wants me to be. This verse sums it up:
"Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life."
~Proverbs 4:23
Above all else (getting school and chores done, being ready for things on time, being prepared for everything, and even serving Jesus) I need to guard and strengthen my heart, because it is what guides my decisions in life.
