Luke 10:38-42
Amplifed….
Now while they were on their way, Jesus entered a village (called Bethany), and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.
She had a sister named Mary, who seated herself at the Lord’s feet and was continually listening to his teaching.
But Martha was very busy and distracted with all of her serving responsibilities; and she approached him and said, “Lord, is it of no concern to you that my sister has left me to do the serving alone? Tell her to do her part.”
But the Lord replied to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered and anxious about so many things;
But only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part (that which is to her advantage), which will not be taken away from her.”
Martha/Mary are teaching us a lesson that our Lord Jesus Christ is revealing. Martha was very busy and distracted through her serving. She expected Jesus to make Mary help her.
Mary was not serving, but listening to Jesus teaching. Jesus said it was Mary that was doing good, for her advantage.
Only one thing is necessary….TO LISTEN TO JESUS’S TEACHING.
Many of us are are worried, and bothered and anxious about so many things! The wisdom of Christ tells us to refocus “ON THE ONE NECESSARY THING”.
“LET THE WORD OF CHRIST DWELL IN YOU RICHLY “! See the changes that will come when you get close to him. This will stremline your life taking out the anxiety and worry!
THIS IS THE GOOD PART THAT WILL NOT BE TAKEN FROM YOU ! A REAL PEACE WILL COME INTO YOUR LIFE !
"THE place for you to grow in grace."
