Luke 10: 41
And JESUS answered, and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things.
PRAYER AND PRAISE DEFEAT, ANXIETY AND WORRY
A life of giving, can become a life of worry and anxiety, just like Martha. Mary had found the best part, sitting and hearing the word from JESUS; a form of prayer. Martha could have defeated the spirit of fear, anxiety and worry by praise and thanksgiving. The attitude of anxiousness and "troubled about many things" can lead to darkness and criticism, praise of the Living GOD and prayer to JESUS defeats the darkness and lifts the troubled spirit from heaviness into the glorious light.
This time of the year, many people have become overwhelmed with doing things and worrying about the outcome of their tasks. Isaiah 61:3 tells us to put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Praise defeats evil; praise gives light to the countenance; praise releases a powerful force that defeats all enemies. Praise is a doorway to peace and great joy.
FLING WIDE THE GATE OF PRAISE AND RIDE ON THE WING OF PRAYER
