Are you worried about so many things that you are missing what is important? But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:41-42) Would the Lord say the same thing to you that He said to Martha? Would He say you are worried and bothered about things that are not even important? Martha being worried and anxious over so many things caused her to miss the time she could have been intimate with Jesus. We have the same things occurring in our minds. Jesus did not say that Martha worked too much, He told Martha that she worried too much. Worry is a mindset, not physical labor. When we choose worry over trust we sacrifice dwelling in the Promised Land God offers to His people. To live in the Promised Land we have to do the things God tells us to do and not do the things He tells us not to do. If you are addicted to worrying this is going to be a process, but you can do it!! We have crossed the line if we repeat thoughts of negative outcomes over and over in our minds. We must walk by faith and not by sight. The “world” worries because they are seeking worldly endeavors and trying to climb the ladder of success or obtain things by their own power. We are not to seek the things of this world; therefore there is nothing to worry about. We should not fill our heads and our hearts with the worries of this world. We should fill our head and our hearts with spiritual pursuits that bring us peace and joy.
