《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day Forty-Four

Day Forty-Four.
Verses: "'As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 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!" "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 10:38-42
I love this Bible story so much because I totally relate to Martha. Mary is over there sitting with Jesus while Martha is doing all the work. So Martha is upset that Mary isn't helping so Martha asks Mary to help. But Jesus takes Mary's side.
Why I relate to Martha so much is because sometimes I feel we can all be like Martha. Martha is very busy, is overwhelmed, trying to get everything done, when she should have been sitting at the foot of Jesus.
Sometimes I feel we can make ourselves very busy like Martha. We have chores to do, school to do, work to go to, things to clean, and we are always going and going. We never have time just to sit and rest at the foot of Jesus.
God wants us to come into His presence by talking with Him and reading His word. But how many of us do that on a regular basic? Probably not as much as we should.
I think we all need to: relax, take a deep breathe, set aside some time just to spend time with God by reading the Bible, and praying. I will do it with you!

I have a prayer group and we are doing a Bible study on the book: "Discerning The Voice Of God" by Priscilla Shirer. I am very excited to read that book because in the introduction it said: "Jesus died on the cross for you, why do you think He wouldn't want to talk to you?" I loved that!
To hear the voice of God, we have to sit at the foot of Jesus like Mary. We all need to take break from this world and just be with Jesus.
I am starting reading the Bible about joy because having joy is something I have been struggling with. So whatever you are struggling with: forgiving, hope, joy, love ,etc. Look it up in the Bible and spend time reading the word.
God can't wait to talk to you but you have to do your part in spending time with Him! God loves you and can't wait to see you.
Prayer:
Dear God,
Help us all stop being busy all the time, worrying, and help us be like Mary and spend time with you. I pray that as I start to read my Bible and talk with you that you speak to me. Open my heart to you Lord. I am listening and I am ready to hear what you have to say. Please help me build a strong relationship with you. Please grab my hand and help me face life with you by my side.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

To Burn a Kingdom
It has been centuries since Gods and Angels forsook the world of Ashaari, leaving its people Faithless and divided as Magic begins to fade. But some of their powers still remain, embedded deep in the earth as rare Gems and sometimes, in blood. Wars are waged and fought over these Gems, for what little Magic they provide. But now, a new prophecy has arisen. The Angels will return and with them, comes Magic and hysteria. - In the kingdom of Illya, Princess Arellia Virtris lives a life of opulence but she is miserable; a caged puppet whose strings are controlled by the members of her court. She yearns for the freedom she may never have but is bound by the prophecy to serve her kingdom and the Faith. But when her brother—the crown prince Vasilis— suddenly arranges an unfavourable marriage, her life begins to spiral out of her control. On the other side of the continent, mercenary Dillon Azshker jumps thoughtlessly from battle to battle. He lives only for the coin he earns and booze to drown the sorrows of his past. Life has left him dispirited save for one last reckless campaign that he hopes would end it all. As fate— or perhaps, bad luck—would have it, on the night of summer solstice, the lives of these two unfortunate souls are intertwined as they find themselves caught in the dark webs of politics and sinister schemes. When they meet and tragedies unfold, their decisions will ultimately trigger a series of events that will alter the course of history. *** Warning: This novel is grimdark and will contain descriptions that some readers may find disturbing.

One in a Billion
My name is Xelean, since I can remember I always saw strange shapes floating in my field of vision. When I asked my parents about it, they looked at me concerned, perhaps thinking that I had a vision problem. Seeing his reaction I quickly said that it was all a joke. However, when I learned to read, I understood a little better what those images with letters were thanks to the following message:'Congratulations soul of the multiversal soul flow!!! You are the soul number 1 Billion that will be born in the world to which you were destined, in consideration and because the current situation of the world, certain benefits will be granted:[User interface][Inspection][Accelerated balanced growth] Sincerely, The Hive.' ---------------------------------------------------- Author Note/Warning:English is not my first language. One of the reasons why I started writing this is to improve my writing skills, so if you see any errors, please leave a comment. In this work there may be similar things/references to different novels (from webnovel and outside of it), role-playing campaigns, movies, anime and manga; since they shaped the idea that I have of the stories and I think that, in part, many of the ideas that I have in mind are consciously or unconsciously inspired by them.
