“Mary Has Chosen What Is
Better”
As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a
village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister
called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha
was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and
asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by
myself? Tell her to help me!”
“Martha,
Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are
needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be
taken away from her.”
Luke 10:38-42
When
we give our lives to Christ, we build a relationship. Do not mistake busyness
with a relationship. Fellowship is more important than busyness.
Some
of us are so busy doing good things that we don’t have time to focus on getting
to know God better. Take the time to build that relationship. It is the most
important one you will ever spend time on. Slow down and get to know God. Let
His Word reveal Himself to you. If you are too busy to spend time with God, you
are too busy.
Our heavenly Father longs to spend time with His children.
