Presence Over Performance | Pastor Mike Cornell | Oceans Unite Okeechobee Campus

God is a God of order, and when our lives get out of order, distraction often follows. In Luke 10:38–42, Martha was serving Jesus, but her service became a distraction because it came before sitting at His feet. Scripture shows that activity is not the same as intimacy; we can be busy for Jesus and still miss what is most necessary. When His presence is no longer our priority, comparison, anxiety, and doubt can take root, just as they did in Martha’s heart. Mary chose the “one thing” that was needed. She sat at the Lord’s feet and listened, and Jesus said that portion would not be taken from her. Service is good, but it must flow from relationship, because apart from Him we can do nothing. Choose the better part by putting His presence first and allowing everything else to flow from time spent with Him.
