It is panting; parched for a drink of God s love and life but we ve learned to drown our thirst for God with distractions such as television, shopping, music, a cold beer, the internet, texting, hobbies, parties an incredibly busy schedule.

Please read the story of Mary and Martha in the book of New Testament: Briefly, when Jesus visited them, Martha was distracted. doing all sorts of preparations for Jesus. But Mary sat by the feet of Jesus and listened to his words. When Martha complained, Jesus said, "Martha, Martha, you are worrying about many things. Mary has chosen the best, the good part of this visit, which can never be taken away from her." This means, in life we have choices.
