In our modern world, we find ourselves constantly pulled in multiple directions, feeling like there simply aren't enough hours in the day. But what if the problem isn't busyness—it's distraction? This powerful exploration of Luke 10:38-42 reveals the tension between Martha's frantic serving and Mary's peaceful sitting at Jesus' feet. The statistics are sobering: Americans spend an average of five hours daily on screens, equivalent to 113 days a year. Meanwhile, 78% of churchgoers haven't shared their faith in six months. The Greek word for Martha's distraction, 'perispio,' literally means to be pulled apart—like horses running in different directions. We see ourselves in Martha's frustration, rushing around doing things for Jesus while missing Jesus himself. The invitation is clear: Jesus doesn't shame our busyness, but gently redirects us to the one necessary thing—sitting at His feet. Our effectiveness in pouring into others flows directly from our willingness to be poured into first. The challenge isn't to do more, but to choose better—to make Jesus our joy rather than our job, and to give Him our first fruits rather than our leftovers.
