Scaling the NEEDFUL

 

Text: Luke 10:40-42 (KJV)

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things; but one thing is needful; and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

 

Mary and Martha serving the Lord with zeal and capacity, were faced with a vital decision time, but Mary decided on the needful as at the moment. And the master commended on her right choice of preference - she has taken the good part, and it shall not be taken from her. Martha was distracted and worried about many things, but Mary sat at the feet of Jesus to learn the needful. You must have a scale of priority in making decisions and serving to fulfill destiny. We have opportunities to make a decision even now, but the question is how decisive are you to look up to the master and not the environment. Certain times, we get ourselves worked up over everything while JUST ONE THING IS NEEDFUL, which is the main course. There is always a game-changer in the process of an event. One can be busy but guilty without evidence of results to show. The question we must always throw to ourselves is - what will I do now and which one later to avoid regrets?  Let us learn to invest in the current need and plan to project for the future accordingly. There are still weightier matters in any field, and until we go through the right process, we will be beating about the bush.

 

Matthew 23:23b- …. And you have neglected the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith, but do not neglect the more important things.There is a need to develop the priority selection rule in delivering your day to day assignment. Do not ignore the first activity and take it to the last, so you will not be cumbered with issues of concern and regrets without the best choice of action. Martha was busy with food and serving Jesus, but that was not essential at the moment. Therefore, prioritize that assignment on things that are top on the list, you will achieve faster in life in Jesus name.

 

PRAYER POINT:

1.      Oh Lord, may I not be too busy with time and energy and lose out from the needful that will attract a bountiful kingdom reward and Master’s commendation in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Confirm your action list by applying selection rule as to avoid waste of time and energy to become fruitful.
