GPS Series – Recap – Day 1 – Make Time with God a Priority

Hey everyone,

I hope that you have already found time today to spend a few minutes with God reading through the 2 chapters of our reading plan! I wanted you to have my details notes from the message yesterday of GPS – Part 5. I believe it is one of the most important messages I’ve ever shared at Next Level Church. If you didn’t hear it, you can link to it on the right of my blog.

Here is point #1 from the Message: Priority.

“It must be a …”
1. Priority.

Luke 10:38 “As Jesus and his disciple were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.

v. 39 “She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said,

v. 40 “But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, ‘Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!’”

– Life has a way of providing it’s daily distractions, doesn’t it?
– Martha was distracted, & she was really upset about it.
– She saw this dichotomy happening…
1) Her on one side hustling around &
2) Mary on the other side “just sitting there.”
– So she asks Jesus about it…

v. 41-42 “’Martha, Martha,’ the Lord answered, ‘you are worried and upset about many things. But few things are needed – or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.’”

– Jesus says that there are a million and one things to be distracted with.
– He doesn’t devalue those things at all.
– He just says that everyday there is 1 Priority that we must have in place.
– Sitting at His Feet.

Make It Personal: The same is true for us!!!
– Life has a way of “distracting” doesn’t it?
– We’re the only ones who can prioritize the “1 Thing!”
– Nobody else will! – In fact, every other person or thing will war against the “1 Thing!”
