Good Morning Better One!

Luke 10:42 ~ “but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

What choice did you make today?

When you look back over your life, has there ever been a time that you wished you had done something different? Do you have any regrets about what you did or did not do?

Out of all the good things that you have done or will do, there is always one thing that is better, spending more time with your Father. When you were younger your parents made you go to everything “church”, every pageant, program, play and prayer meeting, you had to attend and once you got older you stopped attending. Now when you look back you can only imagine of how much closer you could be to God, you believe that you had what was good, when you needed what was better!

Today, you don’t have to choose what’s good, you can have what’s better when you choose God! You can spend more time meditating on the Word of God, you can spend more time in His Presence, you can spend more time in praise and worship, you can spend more time in prayer, you can spend more time tell God how much you love Him and adore Him and that you can’t do anything without Him!

How much time you spend telling Jesus that you love Him? I know that event was going on, and this and that was happening at the same time, but when is the last time you said no to the good thing and just chose to stay in and sit at His Feet, tarring in His Presence because it was better and all you needed was more of Him? Don’t be so busy being busy and miss out on what’s more important, sitting at the Feet of Jesus and learning about what’s better! I’m not saying what you are doing is not good, but somethings are just better for you and your Father in Heaven knows exactly what you need, He knows what’s best for you!

When you choose God sometimes over doing other things, some people may get upset with you and tell you, it’s okay to keep going, but you have to have discipline and discernment to know when to go and do and to sit and stay. Martha was upset because Mary chose not to continue doing the good thing, you don’t have to defend or speak for yourself when you choose Him. Jesus will speak for you, just like He did for Mary, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:41–42 NLT). Mary chose what was better, now what will you chose? Jesus or you? “Take heed to yourself to and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.” 1 Timothy 4:16!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You! Thank You for giving me what is better. Father, forgive me for the times that I chose what was good over what was best for my life. Father, thank You for keeping and sustaining me in spite of me. Father, I know that I have been eager to do more, when You were just calling me into an intimate relationship with You and I just kept moving instead of choosing You! Father, I now know how important it is for me to sit at Your Feet, give me the grace to spend more time being still where I can hear You and learn from You. Father today I choose Your Will and Your Way, and I choose to make You my top priority and because I’m choosing You, I know that I have chosen that which is better over that which was good, this is for my good and Your Glory. In Jesus Christ Name. Amen!
