This month in our Revive and Renew series we’ve promised you printables to help you set your focus on slowing down and sitting at the feet of Jesus. Like Martha, it’s easy to narrow our focus to the many things that need to be done. But, like Mary, we must remember what is most needful… pausing and seeking the guidance of Christ!
To kick things off, I’ve made this printable scripture page for you. Click here to download, then print.
“…You are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary.” ~ Luke 10:41-42
What can you do with this page? Here are some ideas:
- Print it on card stock or glossy paper and frame it
- Tape it to your bathroom mirror
- Hole-punch it and put it in your Bible study notebook
- Put it in your daily planner
- Tape it over the image on your wall calendar
- Put it on your bedside table so you see it when you turn off your morning alarm
- Share it with a friend
Of course, these are just a few ideas! What do you plan to do with yours?
How is this verse reminding you to focus less on the “many things” and focus more on the “one thing?”

Hi Ali,
My word for 2015 is Joy, and so far this year I’ve wrestled with the Lord over and surrendered to Him my getting off Facebook and just recently given up my blog. The results have been wonderful because of having more time with Him and I can honestly say that I am not looking back at either action with regret. I started a Bullet Journal in July and it helped me to understand the concept of purposing over busy. But I just recently was reminded by the Holy Spirit that even the “purposing” can keep me from time with the Lord if I’m not careful. It is no coincidence that I visited here when I did and learned about August being the month of Renewing. I will use this print out on front of my Bullet Journal as a reminder of what truly is necessary! Thanks so much!
Dianna- thank you so much for taking the time to share your journey of making more time with the Lord. I love your thoughts on the concept of “purposing over busy” and how careful we need to be with both! Analyzing our schedules and to-do lists in light of His will for us can be both convicting at times, and freeing, right? I’m so glad you found a use for the printable. God bless!
