Choosing What Is Better: Tools to Help You Be with Jesus
In Luke 10, Mary made a bold choice to stop everything and sit at the feet of Jesus. She wasn’t lazy or indifferent; she simply recognized that being with Him was better than doing for Him. In our busy world, it’s easy to get caught in Martha’s rhythm, checking off spiritual tasks while missing the very presence that gives them meaning. But just as Mary chose what is better, we can also learn to slow down, listen, and let Jesus shape our hearts.
If you’re looking for practical ways to create space for that, here are a few tools that can help you be with Jesus each day:
Lectio 365 is a daily devotional that invites you to pause in the presence of God and create space to pray morning, noon and night.
Inner Room is an app from 24-7 Prayer that turns one of our biggest distractions – our mobile phones – into a portable prayer tool.
"Be With Jesus" it’s a thoughtful collection of songs that create space to breathe, slow down, and engage deeply with God.
These tools do not replace our relationship; they simply make room for it. The goal is not to add more tasks but to create moments where Jesus becomes the focus again, the one thing that is needed, the treasure worth everything.
