Pressure

Today I feel pressure.  It seems I have much more to do than I have time...pressure.  It is easy to get caught up in the "busyness" of life and ministry, but I have to discipline myself to not neglect the MOST IMPORTANT THING:  Time with Jesus.

Luke 10:41-42

But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her."

I know many of you can relate, and the truth is...we can't wish our way to a quiet time, and focusing on God and the things of God won't fall into our laps like an apple falling from a tree.  We will have to work for it.  I am going to stop everything right now and seek the Lord.  Everything I HAVE to do will be right here on my desk when I get back, the world will still be spinning, and I won't be any further behind than I am right now.  The only difference is, I will have quenched a thirst that is only satisfied in Christ.

Slow down, and have a great day.
