Focus on Jesus
“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.”—Luke 10:41–42 (NIV)
Jesus said to him, “Get up, pick up your pallet and walk.”—John 5:8 (NASB)
Are you living your best life? Today’s uplifting verse is a call to action to cast away whatever is keeping you from experiencing God’s blessing. Pick up your pallet and rise to a new life, a new way of being and seeing.
Heavenly Father, I rise to Your call. Nothing can stop me. I am ready to live my best life.
