'Martha complained to Jesus because Mary visited with him while she worked.......'
Luke 10:41-
Pray and work are two elements of faith that so often get right out of balance. Sometimes its all work and little prayer, sometimes its prayer and little work. I think of this and a picture comes into my mind of a person in a dingy rowing with one oar......whats he doing? he is going round and round in circles and getting nowhere....give him two oars and he rows with rhythm, the boat balanced.......... and going in the right direction.
There is no point complaining to our brothers and sisters or to Jesus if the balance isn't right between work and prayer.
How do you know when you have the balance right? Is it something to do with an inner peace and quiet?
On this matter St Francis De Sales says:' Each Christian needs half an hour of prayer each day, except when we are busy;then we need an hour.'
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
