Distractions

"...As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 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 10.38-42

I was seeking the Holy Spirit and asked God to show me how I can be closer to Him, so I can improve my communion, my relationship with Him and the above Bible passage came to me, specially the word DISTRACTED.

📍Distracted - having the attention diverted;

So I started to ask myself with what and how can I be distracted?

✔️ I can be distracted with my work, when I put it first. How?
If I have a prayer purpose, for example, and because I am busy working I do not stop what I am doing to go and fulfill what I said - pray at this time or that time for this purpose;

✔️ I can be distracted with my colleagues when I give hears to conversations that do not add anything to my life;

✔️ I can be distracted when I look at my family issues and instead of using my faith I try to solve it with my own strenght;

✔️ I can be distracted when my marriage is not going the way that pleases God and I just complain instead of going on my knees and ask God's widoms;

✔️ I can be distracted when I know I have inner issues as complexes, low self-esteem,  pride, empty prayers, mind miles away when seeking His presence, and I allow them to take over me instead of seeking for help;

I was observing my life and asking myself if am I choosing the good part indeed or being distracted with all around me.

Observing, every moment of my day, if my thoughts are really connected whit Him, if my words, during my prayer, express exactly what is really inside of me or is only empty talk.

All in this world can cause distraction and take me away from Jesus feet IF I allow it.

But when I choose the good part, I take time to speak to Him, I include Him in all my daily decisions, what to eat, what to dress, what to say, I seat and allow Him to speak to my when I read my Bible.

Being at Jesus feet is a sign of strengh and I am strongh inside and I have a strong mind when I drink, eat, breathe His will, How word.

I chose the good part when I decide to obey Him the way He wants, when I serve Him the way He tells me, when I am who He wants me to be.
