*DAILY DEW 11/JULY/2023* *"The Mary Method"* _Key Bible Text:_ *“And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."* (Luke 10:41-42 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Life is busy running so fast like a mad man chasing nothing. Today runs fast like in a relay race, trying to give the batton of time over to tomorrow, who soon follows the example of yesterday who gave the batton to today! Everyone is in a frenzy trying to catch up. And when we finally catch our breath, we are sorry or worry over the death of someone, whose exit from the race forces us to a hurried pause: wondering if there was a meaning to it all. But then, soon afterwards, we go again at it. Running hard to catch up. It is this thing called the rat race. The system is filled with every reason to keep the chase. We are running a race that actually needs grace but we are often too busy, to come bodly before the throne of grace. Is it not *"that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need"?* But the one need we need to heed we skip. We needed to have paused in ponder of His grace, which come not but by knowing knowledge. Peter said it: *"Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,"* 2 Peter 1:2 (KJV) Peter said it. Jesus said it first. Mary understood it. Martha understood it at last. Will you not also understand it? *But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.* That's the Mary Method! The Mary Method is to take calculated and highly necessary breaks from time to time to just be with the fountain of grace. By spending time at his throne of grace daily, we become infused with grace for this race through more knowledge of Him, who is the God of all grace. _MEDITATION:_ *"When last did you go on a retreat (whether personal or in a group) to be with the Lord like Mary? Retreat away from the many things we naturally busy with and worry about. Only one thing is needful. Use the Mary Method not the Martha method that is so common"* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JULY,2023* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
