Venessa: Quiet Time

Well, since we're all studying for passage to patmos, I'll pick a verse from the few verses we have to learn to do quite time on.

Luke 10: 38-42 ~ Getting your priorities straight.

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 only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

Personally, I am a person that does not get my priorities straight. Whatever I think that is more important is actually not more important. For example, school and church. Obviously, for now I know, I should forsake school. But in the past, I used to think that school is more important than church, which is a very bad thing.

Even till now, I am not certain that I would choose church over school. & I'll still have to ponder about which one to forsake. And I hope that I'll make the right choice in the future and I will be able to get my priorities straight.

God is AWESOME! :D

Cheers, VENESSA.

Hello Ven!

Really happy to see that you have posted a post on our blog! And WOW, you are taking Patmos so seriously!

Well, getting our priorities right doesn't mean forsaking something over another. It just means one is more important than the other. And it's good that you can say you're not certain about what is most important to you at this point of time.

It took me quite a lot of time to figure out this for myself too. But God is awesome, and He reveal it to you. Keep praying about it!

Love you!
