GRACE FOR THE MOMENT | GUARD YOUR ATTITUDE

1. Grace for the Moment

a) "Grace for the Moment" is a collection of thoughts that are inspirational. They are intended to encourage, to give hope, and to inspire the viewers.

b) Reading a thought can change the way you think about something.

2. Scripture Verse

i) 2 Thessalonians 2:16 New Century Version (NCV)

16-17 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father encourage you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say. God loved us, and through his grace he gave us a good hope and encouragement that continues forever.

3. Thoughts

a) "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me alone to do all the work? (Luke 10:40)...

Luke 10:40 New Century Version (NCV)

40 But Martha was busy with all the work to be done. She went in and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me alone to do all the work? Tell her to help me.”

b) Martha's life was cluttered. She needed a break. "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things," the Master explained to her. "Only one thing is important, Mary has chosen it" (Luke 10:41-42).

Luke 10:41-42 New Century Version (NCV)

41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things. 42 Only one thing is important. Mary has chosen the better thing, and it will never be taken away from her.”

c) What had Mary chosen? She had chosen to sit at the feet of Christ. God is more pleased with the quiet attention of a sincere than the noisy service of a sour one...

d) What matters more than the type of service is the heart behind the service. A bad attitude spoils the gift we leave on the altar for God.
