WHEN BUSY ISN’T PRODUCTIVE

Luke 10:41-42

“And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

There is a difference between being busy and being productive.

We can fill every hour of the day, answer every message, finish every task, run every errand, take care of everybody else, and fall into bed exhausted—and still wonder what we actually accomplished.

Because movement doesn’t always mean progress.

Martha was moving. She was serving. She was working. And there was nothing necessarily wrong with what she was doing. The problem was that her activity had become a distraction from what mattered most in that moment.
