One Thing at a Time-Focus
Luke 10:42
“Only one thing matters.”
“I wonder if there’s another application to this story. Jesus is really suggesting that ‘there is only one thing worth being concerned about’ at a time, and if you discover that, it won’t be taken away from you. Mary was embodying the posture of a person who was aware of what was most important in that moment, and she focused on it. She was present. She was a single-tasker. Martha, on the other hand, was a multi-tasker, she was worried about and distracted by many things.”
As soon as I read that in bed I heard the Twilight Zone theme playing. “Hey, that’s exactly what I was thinking this morning,” I said to my geeky self.
I’ve been thinking so much lately about this simplicity and focus. We’re really talking about being single-minded and therefore, focused.
“Energy flows where attention goes.”
I believe God made us capable of so much! I like the way one author put it:
“God gave you one gift for your journey and one gift alone. He said: ‘My Son, remember, you can change your mind at any time.'”
Well, I have more to say, but I have to go upstairs and get the girls ready for school. To be continued.
Blessings upon you this 74 degree day that cometh!
