But one thing is needful:

Luk 10:40 But Martha was encumbered 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.
Luk 10:41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
Luk 10:42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Good day friends and readers, what a weekend as busy as I was I got into a hurry while moving from one house to another that I twisted and severely sprained my ankle. Well that didn't stop me from being in the Lords house on Sunday, and I hope each and every one of you found your rightful place in the pews. As I stated earlier in the year I wanted to work on a some words, "commitment" and "consistency". Now I was going through thinking about how in the past I have over committed and was under consistent because of my zeal to do everything all by myself. Then I was reminded while thinking about how busy I was about Martha in the Bible and as the verses say she was encumbered with much. Now we tend to encumber ourselves daily and sometimes I believe it is with things that are so trivial that it actually becomes cumbersome. We want as dear Christians to do all we can for the Lord Jesus Christ in servitude, however I now believe if we aren't careful then as Martha was so busy we will loose focus on what we started out to do. Jesus stated to Martha, But one thing is needful, and that was Himself..you see Mary had figured out that there is always time to do things, but without Jesus those things are futile. If we set out to do things in our own power then we will quickly loose focus, we'll loose the energy to see them through, however with Jesus I can guarantee you that He will give us the grace in time of need, and the strength to overcome the obstacles that would hinder us. Remember friends that we must first stop and spend time with Jesus before we get all excited to get things done. You see Martha was also troubled about many things that means her mind wasn't thinking spiritually otherwise she would have noticed that there could have been peace in her life if for one moment she would have stopped and saw who was in her presence. Friend don't become so busy in your life that you don't have time to see that the answer to your troubles may be right there with you, that is Jesus Christ. Friend if your troubled because you don't know who Christ is and you haven't accepted Him as your personal Savior then I encourage you to stop and take a moment and look at what your life is about. If for some reason you are encumbered with much and need to lay things aside then call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and turn to Him and He shall give you rest. Friends I hope this was an encouragement to you as it was to me that there were those even in the past that were busy in life, it also encourages me to know that I can take a time out and spend it with Jesus and He will make it all right. May God bless.
