"Balancing Life's  

Priorities"
Luke 10:38-42
Dr. Felipe S. Ferrez Jr.

Instruction: 
   Can one live successfully in two world?
I. Human Priorities
   * Martha.. courages,loving person 
     - Flush of excitement
     - Whirlwind of action
     - Worrisome distraction - the harder Martha worked the more worked up she became
  * Mary
    - Focus on the spiritual - Mary was sitting at Jesus
    - Failure of application - A contract response to spiritual ,John 11:21-22 
II. Essential balance
    * Focusing on the problem.....
The issue did not lie in the work that Martha was doing, but in her value system.
       What Jesus wanted that day was not Martha's lentils.
    * Living life in the proper tension
It is not a question of contrasting the activist life to the contemplative life. It's a matter of
priorities. We put listening to and learning the word of God. 
    * Maintaining the right attitude..
We must be sure that the necessary doesn't get out of proportion and disturb ... Seek first the
kingdom of God... 
Conclusion:
  When we keep our priorities in line with God's priorities, we will find that God enables us to do
what needs to be done with joy and satisfaction.
