"Jesus Calling" Day 2

"Relax in My Healing Presence......." is how my day starts as I read today's devotion. I have mentioned in a past post how we tend to be in a hurry to get things done, to go places or try to juggle too many responsibilities. Society today is consumed with having more, doing more, being more. I think as a society we need to slow down and remember what is truly important. Family, friends and, of course, God. We get so busy and distracted by "things" that we sometimes miss the what is most important in life. The Blessings. God. Faith. Love.

Day 2:

"Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always." Psalm 105:4

"She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”



 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:39-42


I think for so long I have searched for answers to my questions which no success. Maybe it is time to take a step back and try not analyze things. Stop asking "Why?" and just believe that this is the path chosen for me. Why do we question so much? Why are we always in a hurry? Why do we take on so much? So often, people live their lives stressed out and tired. People tend to take things for granted. What's the old saying, "Take time to stop and smell the roses." I was listening the the Zach Brown Band on my way home yesterday and one of their songs says ".....I ain't in no hurry, I'd be a fool now to worry about all the things I can't change....." These words are my new motto. Why hurry? I have my whole life ahead of me and so many blessing. Including my wonderful family that I have been blessed to have in my life. Thanks for loving and supporting me.

XOXO Pamela
