When Busyness Becomes a Distraction | Mary & Martha
What if the thing keeping you from what matters most isn’t laziness—but productivity? In Luke 10:38–42, Martha is busy serving while Mary sits at the feet of Jesus and listens. Martha isn’t doing something wrong, but her good responsibilities have become a source of anxiety and distraction. In this episode of The Working Word, David reflects on the story of Mary and Martha and what it teaches us about work, priorities, faith, and slowing down. Sometimes the most important thing we can do is step away from the to-do list long enough to hear what God is asking of us. Work matters. Responsibilities matter. But they should never become so consuming that they pull us away from God, our families, and the people who need us most. Sometimes we need to slow down so God can speed up. The Working Word is brought to you by James Marketing Company.
