Don’t Sweat The Details

Don’t Sweat the Details

Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught. But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. . . . “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.” But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details!”

Luke 10:39-41

What details and distractions keep you from being present with others and with God?

As you head into the new year, consider one way to let your expectations go regarding how your home or appearance “should” be.

For example, don’t pick up your child’s toys until the end of the day.

Ask God to remind you that loving others well is more about your presence than about your presentation.
