Live according to your values.

Greetings friends of steemit.

I looked after all the works my hands had made, and the work I took to make them; and behold all was vanity and affliction of spirit, and without profit under the sun.
Ecclesiastes: 2:11 R.V 1960


source

One day Jesus and his disciples went to visit Marta and María, Marta, an excellent hostess, did everything possible to make everything ready for her guests. María, on the other hand, had a different perspective. He decided to sit at the feet of Jesus and hear him speak. Marta did not think that attitude was good at all. He needed Maria to lend him a hand, so he appealed to the Lord.

But Marta was concerned with many tasks, and approaching,
He said: Sir, do not you take care that my sister let me serve alone?
Tell him, then, to help me. Responding Jesus, he said: marten, marten,
Busy and disturbed you are with many things. but only one thing is
necessary and maría to chosen the good part which will not be removed.

(Luke 10: 40-42) RV 1960

For Martha it was regrettable that Jesus backed Mary. Maria's behavior communicated the following:

I value this opportunity to sit at the feet of Jesus and delight in his words, therefore, it is precisely here that I will invest my time and energy.

The central theme of this story is how to align our values ​​with our behavior.

Since the values ​​are our internal navigation system. Let's consider some of the biblical values ​​that can help us in our lives.

1.The sovereignty of God. My embryo saw your eyes, and in your book were written all those things that were then formed, without missing one of them. (Psalm 139: 16) RV 1960 we can live confident that God has the last word in relation to everything.

2.integrity. the integrity of the upright will lead them (Prov. 11: 3). If we pursue our affairs with integrity, integrity is not merely being honest or telling the truth. It's a matter of keeping your word.

3.humility. The fear of Jehovah is the teaching of wisdom; and humility precedes honor (Proverbs 15:33). Humility is not feeling worthy of something, rather it is an attitude that accepts both the strengths given by God and the weaky.

4.generosity. give and you will be given, when we give is when we resemble God, and we can never beat them in that aspect.

5.Equality. Because there is no acceptance of people for God, no person is more important than another.

Hi @Amis24vi!

In life we must learn to give priority to matters that really matter, the desire and anxiety often defocus us to live and share with family and friends.
