“The Better Part”
Now as they went on their way, he
entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her
home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to
what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to
him and asked, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the
work by myself? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha,
Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only
one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from
her.”
What are your priorities in life?
Martha had been distracted about serving. Mary, on the other hand, had her
priorities in order. Somehow she knew the importance of Jesus, and the
importance of what He was all about. She did not get lost in the big picture.
How about you?
Sometimes we need to step back and
make sure we have the time to spend with the Lord or family or friends.
Helping
someone in Jesus’ name
is your most
important work for the day.
