There's a new sheriff in town

There is a god in our nation called “Lord ReallyBusy”.

If you worship at his altar, you just might be so distracted that nothing else bothers you or is able to pierce the cloak of impenetrable activity that this god wraps around all its followers.

The kingdom of God is so unlike our normal inclinations.  Busy-ness does not equal progress, Being involved in a myriad of activities does not automatically translate into spiritual depth.  As a matter of fact, it just might keep your car stuck in the mud.

Jesus told Martha that she was simply doing too much.  She was involved in worshipping “Lord ReallyBusy” and not Jesus Christ.  (And she did not even notice it!) 

But what is really a jaw-dropper is when Jesus took Martha’s to-do list away from her and threw it in the trash.  Then he gave her a new to-do list.

It had only one thing on it.

According to Luke 10:42, the one thing was:

1)    Sit at my feet and listen to me.

There was no number two.  There was no number three.

Just number one.

What is on your to-do list today?
