Martha and Mary Bible Study | Homemaker Guilt
Recently God has placed on my heart to do a Martha and Mary Bible study. Now, if you know the story of Martha and Mary, then you know there isn’t much to study. But as I dove into this small story in the Bible, I realized it had great impact to my heart as a homemaker.
![[POST 1/2] -- I have written and re-written a blog post 100 times or more. And each time I delete it and start all over. And my heart realized that sometimes less words are more words. And right now, we need less noise. We need less people screaming opinions, options, and ignorance. We need quiet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There's a reason the Bible says that God is in the still, small voice. What still small voice are you not hearing right now? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The reality is that I could write a thousand words about all the things happening right now in the world, but what it all boils down to is the human heart. The heart is deceitful above all things. It's why some people will agree with this post, and some people will condemn it. It's why there is hatred in the world. It's why there is racism in the world. It's why there is ignorance in the world. It's why there is confusion in the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I will never pretend to understand what someone else walks through in their life. I will also never advocate any kind of hatred, from any race, from any religion, or any community. Period. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can I tell you something? No government or law will change the way the human heart works. Only Jesus can do that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No person shouting from the roof tops will change the hatred and deceitfulness that lays rest in the darkest parts of the human heart. Only Jesus can change that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What we're seeing in the world today is a symptom of a world without Jesus. A world longing for a King. A symptom of a world where the church looks like the world instead of a set apart community of believers. A group of world changers in Christ. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can't change the hate that the Bible warns us about. But I can make a change within the four walls of my own home. I can talk about scriptures and love and Jesus daily. Because the real changes happens when we have hard conversations within our own communities, not boisterously online. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
