God’s Good Portion is Awaiting You

Let’s journey together and spend a midweek moment with Father. I’m Linda Goldfarb, and I want to encourage and inspire your walk with the Lord. For more encouragement, please visit LindaGoldfarb.com. I’m so glad you’re here.
Completing tasks and building relationships. Both are important to living life, right?
“But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” Luke10:41-42ESV
Siblings.
Isn't it amazing how we can be raised in the same family and be completely different? Our uniqueness gives us opportunities to accomplish much for the Father. Whether we are task-oriented or people-oriented, how we choose to relate to Jesus matters most.
I completely get why Martha was miffed at Mary.
Preparing dinner and cleaning are important. Watching her sister sitting around accomplishing “nothing” had to be frustrating. According to Jesus, Martha was anxious and troubled, and at that moment, an opportunity of great importance was passing her by.
The one necessary thing.
Spending time with her Savior.
Taking advantage of this portion of time to be still in His presence—is priceless.
When we begin our day in the presence of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, we choose the good portion.
We are still to cook, clean, work, and toil, but going to God first lessens our anxiety and frustration throughout the day. Breathing in the aroma of His essence stays with us and can pour out on others as well.
Take just a moment and thank Holy Spirit for His presence in your life.
Ask Him to guide your thoughts as you experience your day. Let your good portion overflow with love, hope, and caring.
Let’s Journey Together.
Praise You, Holy Spirit. Thank You for the truth in Your word. Help me to choose wisely how I begin my day. Guide my heart to be open to Your calling. Help me to help others to know You more. I praise You. Hallelujah. Amen.
Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves; do what it says. James 1:22
May YHWH bless you, keep you, and guide you in all you do. Until next time, this is Linda Goldfarb, and I’m so glad we are on this journey together with Father.
