Distraction - Sarah Price
Here is your weekly encouragement, hope it blesses you! π₯°
In a few week's time, my best friend Lindsay is getting married ππ Whilst this is super exciting and wonderful, it also comes with challenges; a lot of planning, people to coordinate, things that have to be done at the right time.
With all the thinking about the food, what to wear, sending invitations, it can be easy to miss what is most important.
None of it matters, in fact, it is a complete waste of time, without her relationship with the bridegroom. It is their relationship that ties it all together, and gives it meaning and purpose β€οΈ.
This got me thinking about the church, we are the bride and Christ is the bridegroom. Let's not get so focused on the wedding, the planning & the doing, that we miss out on the most important thing, our relationship with Him.
Jesus put it to Martha this way:
"Martha, my beloved Martha. Why are you upset and troubled, pulled away by all these many distractions? Mary has discovered the one thing most important by choosing to sit at my feet. She is undistracted, and I wonβt take this privilege from her (Luke 10:39 TPT).
Lastly, as the wedding day is fast approaching, I'm learning that in this process of preparation, I can no longer put off until tomorrow, the things that need to happen today! βΊοΈβ€οΈ
