Luke 10:38-42

Listen to Luke 10:38-42

38 As they were traveling along, Jesus went into a village. A woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.

39 She had a sister named Mary. Mary sat at the Lord's feet and listened to him talk.

40 But Martha was upset about all the work she had to do. So she asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work all by myself? Tell her to help me."

41 The Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha! You worry and fuss about a lot of things.

42 There's only one thing you need. Mary has made the right choice, and that one thing will not be taken away from her."

One Thing is Needed Part 2

John Randall

Imagine having Jesus over for dinner? How do you think you’d react? Perhaps you’d instantly go into work mode… cleaning house, preparing an excellent feast and making sure He’s comfortable and well served. While all of that is great, we’ll learn the value of simply sitting at His feet and listening to Him. Pastor John draws our attention to a couple of sisters who took very different approaches to the Lord when He came over for dinner.

What's Got You Busy? - C

Jack Hibbs

We think we’re doing something important by worrying about it. We often abandon God right in the middle of an issue. We only benefit by doing what pleases God. Instead, we stumble through our prayers, too distracted to even notice when He answers.
