Devotional for Monday Jan 26, 2009:
Guard Your Attitude
|
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and
God our Father encourage you and strengthen
you in every good thing you do and say.
2 Thessalonians 2:16
"Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me alone to do all the work?" (Luke 11:40)....
Martha's life was cluttered. She needed a break. "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things," the Master explained to her. "Only one thing is important. Mary has chosen [it]" (Luke 10:40-42).
What had Mary chosen? She had chosen to sit at the feet of Christ. God is more pleased with the quiet attention of a sincere servant than the noisy service of a sour one....
What matters more than the type of service is the heart behind the service. A bad attitude spoils the gift we leave on the altar for God.
