Hope to see you there 
I want to be famous.
I want to impress people with how great I am at leading worship.
I also want to impress God with the many things I do for him.
But today I'm reminded that God isn't concerned with what I do for him. He isn't concerned about the extra time I'm putting into this project or that video.
God is concerned with my heart.
Worship is a heart issue. There is a constant war for my attention, my affection, and my worship because of whom my worship is about.
My heart knows and believes one thing, while my head says and does another. And of course, my pride and desire for greatness do a great job of keeping me too busy to notice.
“My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.” - Luke 10:42 (NLT)
Often times I realize it's easy to find myself in Martha's shoes. I mean, hey, I'm a pastor. Every day is about doing my Father's business.
But how often do I take a few moments to sit at my Savior's feet and hear his Word?
What Christ said here is both convicting and troubling - It's easy to get caught up in doing work for Jesus and miss out on what is truly important. Christ is actually telling us that our work for Him can get in the way of our relationship with him.
But it's not just any work he's referring to -- it's work for Jesus.
Martha busied herself with housework for Jesus and his guests. Somehow she was convinced that her work for Christ was just as good as time spent with Christ. Her work was important, but she missed out on an amazing opportunity to get intimate with Jesus.
Mary sat at Jesus' feet and spent time listening to his teaching. Mary experienced a greater depth in her relationship with him that surpassed knowledge - she got intimate with her Savior.
If you want to impress God, do so with your worship of Him.
"How could they miss it? Because instead of trusting God, they took over. They were absorbed in what they themselves were doing. They were so absorbed in their "God projects" that they didn't notice God right in front of them" - Romans 9:32 (MSG)
Don't busy yourself with work.
Don't be so consumed with productivity that you neglect the one thing that's important.
Don't seek to impress God or man with what you do.
We cannot let our work for Jesus be a substitute for time spent with Jesus.
