Summary
In today’s devotional, we’re going to look at how being wise with our time, and investing it in the place of meeting with God face to face, positions us to more fully experience God’s promises every day. May God open our eyes to see the true value of our time, and how deeply he cherishes when we choose to spend it on him.
Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 37:7, and today's worship is More of You by First15 Worship feat. Magen Thurman.

Your gift will be DOUBLED to help more Spanish-speakers connect with God
Two years ago, First15 began a Spanish version called Primeros15. And God is using it to impact many lives. But today, he’s calling us to more.
More Spanish-speaking men and women connecting with him and impacting the culture around them.
That’s why we’ve just launched a summer campaign to deepen the reach and impact of Primeros15 — and why we’re asking you to jump in with us!
We’ve set a $100,000 goal, and a generous $25,000 Matching Grant has been offered to double the impact of any gift given by July 31. So please give to help more Spanish-speakers connect with God.

| 0:44.7 | Our verse for today comes from Psalm 37, verse 7. |
| 0:46.8 | Scripture says, |
| 0:51.3 | Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. |
| 0:57.8 | Fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices. Our world deems the busiest people to be the most successful. |
| 1:06.8 | We look at the lives of those who work more than the average person and admire their fortitude and drive. |
| 1:13.6 | We compare our own lives to those who seem to work more, have more, and do more with their time, |
| 1:20.6 | and wish that we could have the resolve to be more like them. |
| 1:25.6 | As a result of society's epidemic of busyness, our spiritual |
| 1:30.8 | lives are suffering. The Bible gives us a clear depiction of the life of a busy person |
| 1:37.4 | and the life of a person who made time to sit and experience God. Luke 10 38 through 42 says, now as they went on their way, |
| 1:48.9 | Jesus entered a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. And she had a sister |
| 1:55.9 | called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. |
| 2:04.6 | But Martha was distracted with much serving, |
| 2:07.1 | and she went up to him and said, |
| 2:11.6 | Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? |
| 2:14.2 | Tell her then to help me. |
| 2:16.9 | But the Lord answered her, Martha, Martha, you were anxious and troubled about many things, |
| 2:22.4 | but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her. |
