Necessary.

One thing is necessary.

At times, I have 15 tasks on my To Do List, and I feel that all of them are necessary.  Anxiety and emotions arise when there is only time to complete 2-3 of those tasks.   Ever felt the same?

Yesterday was one of those days, and Jesus allowed me to read Luke 10:42.  There He states that only one thing is necessary.  Really, one thing?  Well, I took Him at His Word, quieted my heart, listened to Him by reading His Word, and went on with His plans for my day.  Notice that I said “His plans,” not “my plans.”

What a transformation! My grumpy attitude was traded for His joy.  My anxiety was exchanged for His steady peace.  My selfishness was overcome by His love.   The tasks that He has for me were a delight and privilege.

Yes, ONE THING is necessary.

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2
