Morning Prayer 

But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

Inspiration 

Work becomes a heavy burden when we feel we are the only ones getting anything done. Martha felt so overwhelmed with her workload; she overlooked Jesus! He was sitting right there, in her home! Given the same opportunity, we like to think we would immediately sit with the Lord when it's possible we would have been more concerned about serving too. Even today, we remain focused on our busy work and other events. We skip church services or run out of time to study the Word. We have opportunities to visit with the Lord and hear His message daily. Instead of letting our schedules blind us, we will remain focused on the Lord.

Prayer 

Dear Lord, we choose to focus on You! Help us see every opportunity to hear You and listen to Your instruction for our lives. In Jesus' name, Amen.
