Detail Oriented

Did Martha get caught up in the details? YES

Did she busy herself instead of sitting with Jesus and spending time with him? YES

Martha gets a bad rap for her type A personality but her story also fills me with joy! WHY?

John 11:27, “‘Yes Lord, she told him, I have always believed you are the Messiah, the Son of God, one who came into the world from God.” Martha believed who Jesus was. Despite her flaws she was a woman of faith. Jesus was never harsh with Martha. He never yelled at her or rejected her. Jesus loved Martha!

This is what I love the most about Martha’s story. I know even during the times I’m distracted or focused on ”the things” I have Jesus to gently reset my focus and point me back to what matters most. He loves me and like Martha I too believe who He says He is.

Happy Thursday from Rooted,
