High cost we pay for distractions



     Distractions are causing havoc on our bodies.  Our society is plagued with depression, tension, ulcers, and panic attacks.  The high cost of not resting, being anxious and loaded with care  The Bible instructs us to cast our care upon the Lord.  
     
      Jesus and His disciples came to Mary and Martha's house which he often visited.  He went there to get some r and r.  Rest and recover from His being pressed by people.  It was nearing the end of Jesus ministry on earth.  The cross was coming and the end of Him coming on a personal visit to His friend's home.  He wanted to tell them what was ahead.   Martha seeing it was close to supper time and so many people to feed she got distracted with too many meals to fix.  Jesus had fed thousands was sitting there wanting to talk.  She forgot all about Him being the Lord and began stewing over dinner.  In her distraction she got so angry over Mary not helping her that she began to call her sister, instead of Mary.  She is so upset she begins to command Jesus what to do.  Jesus calls her back to the heart of the matter.  One thing is needed, keep your eyes on me. 

Jesus said I am meek, and lowly and you will find rest for your soul.  The master of the sea can still master us, if we will keep our eyes on Him.  Remind me Lord your hands are a big cradle that can hold me safe as I travel through life.  He will keep you in perfect peace who's mind is stayed on HIM.  A visit back to the Tabernacle to the mercy seat to find grace to help in time of need.
