Priorities

My devotion today:

"Now as they went on their way, He entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home” (Luke 10:38, NIV)


How many times in your life have you felt tired of running?
I don't mean to literally 'run'.
But run, as in running through your daily life, rushing to complete tasks and assignments.
Running against time.
One of my girlfriend had her blog named 'Running Against Time'.
How true that statement is.

But today, I realize, it is only true because my priorities aren't right.
In racing alongside the world standards and being caught up in the whirlwind of things-to-do, things-not-done, and deadlines! I  felt tired.
Tired of this concept, tired that I never had the time to rest, tired of all the burden weighted on me, tired of not having enough time, tired that 'time flies too fast for me to catch up with'

Amidst the race to being the 'all rounder' student, amidst the pressure that exams are building upon me, I made some wrong 'priorities'.
Placing my eyes only on the exam, and studies, I totally lose out on the bigger picture.
*Focus on God, focus on God!!!*
*Make time for God!*


I am slowly picking up the left behinds of my relationship with God.
Or rather, God finds me again, in the crowded-ness of my life.
I'm starting, afresh, anew in Him.
I am grateful that I am given a new chance everyday.
Everyday I yearn to be better.
He acknowledges that I am weak..
I know halfway down the road I might go off-track again.*the truth*
When I feel fed up with life, and come running back to Him, crying and asking for forgiveness for the 'all too well known mistakes' in my life, I know He will forgive me again and again.
Waiting patiently for me, reminding me turn back to Him.
I am not taking it for granted.
I am grateful for the chance,  of the blood shed on the cross for me.
I am thankful that He never gives up on me.
Everyday is a new covenant with Him, everyday I shall invite Him into my life.
Just like Martha, looking forward to His presence and running into His embrace.
