In my morning devotions the Lord brought some things afresh to me. Let me share it with friends:
Rev. Ch.2:1-7 has a corollary with the Bethany family,
friends of Jesus. The church at Ephesus was DOING a lot for Christ. He still
says it lacks the LOVE demonstrated at the start of their Christian walk. Martha
was all DOING/ SERVING and Mary her sister was all DEVOTION. The risen Lord demands from
His church a delicate balance of 'Martha' and 'Mary'.
The energy we spend in working for the advancement of God's
kingdom must be replenished equally by the time we spend in devotion at the
feet of Christ every day, failing which we get burnt out!!
We need to be both 'Martha' and 'Mary' like two sides of a coin.
Without one side the coin will still be not 'TRANSACTION worthy'.
AMEN.
