Don't be busy-Be Fruitful
by boatrocker Gilmore It was Martha who was busy and complaining about what Mary was not doing. Jesus was sensing that there was jealousy between Martha and Mary brewing. Jesus told Martha that you trouble yourself about many things but only one thing is needful. Jesus was saying that being busy is wasting time if you forget to do what is fruitful. It is always fruitful that we give God out first fruit of our time before we began any task. To get busy before we pray, our best efforts won't last. Being busy doesn't guarantee God's approval. But being unfruitful does guarantee one's removal. To be unfruitful is like being a weed that hinders the fruit from producing. God will eventually separate the weeds from his fruit stopping them from reproducing. Let us no longer be busy doing our own thing forgetting that being busy is not the same as being successful. Let us be like Mary listening and following Jesus teachings, insuring that every mission is fruitful.
