What we consider needs, are often wants. Can you imagine having 'only one thing' on your agenda; like just wanting to be with Him? David said, 'One thing have I asked of the Lord...that I may dwell...[in his presence] all...my life...' (Psalm 27:4 AMP).

Speaking of His presence, Jesus told Martha, 'You are worried... about many things, but only one thing is needed.' No doubt, Martha loved Jesus. In fact she couldn't do enough for Him. The problem was, she was so busy serving Him that she did not know how to relax and just enjoy being with Him! Sound familiar?

If you are not spending time enjoying God's presence, you are way over-scheduled! Maybe like Martha you think that unless you do the job yourself it will not get done right. Who knows, you may be right! But remember this: God will never ask you to do anything that hinders your relationship with Him. He wants that to be your top priority! So, if you are so busy serving God that you are not doing the 'one thing' He really wants from you, right now would be a good time to heed the words of the old hymn 'Turn your eyes upon Jesus; look full in His wonderful face.

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His
glory and grace.' So, how about it?
