Ask almost any person you know the simple question of “How’s it going?” and you can almost be guaranteed that somewhere within their answer, they’ll say they are “busy.” In fact, in many ways, being busy has become a measurement of our self-worth. Whether it’s with work, activities with our kids, household duties and even church projects, we have become a society that prides itself on being busy for busy’s sake.

Most Christians who are living this way know, deep down inside, that something isn’t right. They know that something must change. They sense that living this way is costing them something, they’re just not sure what and how much. This is not how God intended life to be....

But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.” And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
(Luke 10:40-42 NKJV)
