Daily Reading—Judges 3-5 / Luke 11:1-28
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Luke 10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
Poor Martha, she felt like many who serve the Lord have felt at times. Nobody is helping me. Nobody cares. Nobody sees the work that needs to be done. I’m all alone. God, why don’t you make them help me?
Well, there is a lot of apathy toward the work of the Lord today; that is true. Yet sometimes we miss the best by doing the good. We begin to look at the work more than we look at the one we are working for. We get our eyes off the Saviour and on our labor. Doing the work of the Lord is necessary. However, doing the work and forgetting why is exhausting. At times, we must stop, rest in His arms, and reconnect with Him before we move on. When we do, we realize we are never alone; Jesus is always with us and always helping.
