Scriptures to Ponder

Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Joshua 1:8 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, so that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29 The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward apprearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Jeremiah 29:11

Mary or Martha?

I did this lesson the other day in our women's bible class and it asked if you relate more to Mary or Martha. As I thought about that, I sadly realized that I don't relate to either. I know that my mom's generation had the tendancy to be a Martha, constantly busy with "good works" but then getting worn out and tired. It seems like we went through this change of making sure that we are not Martha's that we missed being like Mary. I am not busy with church work, in fact, I'm too "busy" to commit to church work but I'm not taking that time to be still and know God. So, if you are not a Mary, would it be better to be a Martha or neither? Just something to consider.

Wow...you are spoiling us with all this blogging...
I would say that it is better to be a little bit of both, rather than neither. If you get burnt out on good works then you begin to forget WHO you are glorifying when you are doing them. It is a good thing to think about. Thanks for sharing.
