One thing Is needed
By Rob | June 3, 2010
WOW!! finally posting a new blog. I really want to make a commitment to write something each week. But like the devotion I want to share we all get so busy with just “life” that we do not make time to do certain things. My blog, well that is one of those things. With all you have to do and all that you are involved in, remember to take time to make your relationship with Jesus a priority. Let me challenge you to “fast” some of the pleasures in life. Put down the remote control, turn off your phone, instead of having to connect on face book take time to connect with the one who has the answers for our life, Make time for the one who never leaves us, remember the ultimate sacrifice He gave for us. In the story of Mary and Martha, Martha was so “busy” but Mary chose Jesus. Like the devotion do not be so busy that you neglect the “One thing that is needed” Jesus!

One Thing is Needed
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“But only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her”
(Luke 10:42, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
In today’s world, most people find that life is full. We have over 500 channels on TV, an unlimited number of sites to browse on the internet, cell phones and PDA’s to keep us connected 24 hours a day. Everywhere you look there is something to do or some kind of entertainment all the time. If we’re not careful, we’ll fall into the trap of thinking that we’ve always got to be busy doing something. But Jesus invites us to be still because really, only one thing is needed.
I heard somebody say one time, what if we treated our Bibles like we do our cell phones? Can you imagine people in the elevators, lobbies and shopping malls thumbing through their Bibles all day long? Can you see people reading and studying the Word while sitting in traffic and at red lights? Not that you should do that, but the point I’m making is that we need to live our lives in balance and make the Word of God a priority. Let’s make sure we don’t allow the distractions of life to keep us from the one thing that is needed.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, today I set my heart and affections on You. I choose to lay down the distractions of life and put You first because You are the one thing that is needed. Help me keep my mind focused on You as I declare Your praises throughout the day. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
