Prioritize What Matters. Let The Rest Go.

“But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things, but few things are needed.” - from Luke 10:41-42

Go, go, go. Rush, rush, rush. Do, do, do. Many of us live fast paced lives in a fast paced world. And there’s nothing wrong with staying busy and productive unless we begin to feel overwhelmed, burned out, and or resentful those don’t choose to run at our pace.

If we start to feel any of things, it’s time to stop, take a deep breath and prioritize. When we find that there are more things to do than we have the time, energy or motivation to do, we need to evaluate our priorities, choose what’s best, and let the rest go.

There’s no doubt Martha wanted to be a good host to Jesus. There’s also no doubt that Martha was feeling the pressure to meet her society’s expectations for a woman in her time. But Jesus didn’t care if she did. In fact, her trying to do everything was robbing both her and him of her attention.

Don’t try to meet everyone’s expectations. Prioritize what matters. Let the rest go.
