LUKE 10:38-42
I come across an alarming number of distracted drivers when I am driving. While trying to control a car, people are frequently talking on the phone or texting, but I have also seen them reading the newspaper, applying makeup, and even eating a bowl of cereal! Distractions can occasionally be brief and harmless. They are deadly in a moving vehicle.
Distractions can occasionally cause issues in our connection with God. In fact, Jesus was worried about His friend Martha in that regard. She was distracted with all the meal preparations that needed to be done (Luke 10:40).
Martha’s distractions were well-intentioned. She was, however, giving up the chance to hear Jesus speak and to enjoy His presence. He alone can fully enable us to overcome any of life’s distractions.
🙏Lord Jesus, as we drive through life, may we not be distracted.
