[Luke 10.38-42] pass as they went, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha received at home. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the feet of Jesus, heard his word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and came and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me. Jesus answered her, "Martha, Martha, and troubled about many things. But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which will not be taken .
two sisters, Martha and Mary, were busy getting ready for the visit of Jesus. Upon arrival, the first sister focused on him, while the other, though accepted Jesus into his life focused on the preparations and was impatient because his sister Mary was not helping. We think that Martha was right, so having work to do, her sister was sitting. Then we hear the view of Jesus. To see that Martha was anxious and upset about many things, when only one was needed, said Mary had chosen the good part.
There are some important lessons we can learn from this story and apply them to our lives. First lesson: To have fellowship with the Lord Jesus, we may have to neglect some things. He knew how much had been working women, and how much he wanted Martha to complete tasks. But their greatest need was to spend time with Him Your goal should be to listen, learn and relate to Jesus.
The second lesson is that our decision to give up an activity can be misleading. Marta did not understand, in fact, the decision of his sister. Furthermore, if we spend time with the Lord can have unpleasant consequences in our daily lives. Marta blur led the effort and trouble, too busy with other things. Jesus asked her to choose the best, that is, to be with Him, and this is the choice of the good part.
is essential to our spiritual health have the habit of seeking communion with the Lord. Regular relationship with Him will sharpen our focus on what matters most to him
Even in our daily work we learn how to stay aware of their presence and act according to his will.
Sitting at the feet of Christ is available ready to receive his word, and submission to his leadership. Martha was concerned to serve Christ and those who came with him here had respect for our Lord Jesus on the proper care of their domestic chores, but there was a fault. She was very dedicated to serving: abundance, variety, and accuracy. Worldly activity is a trap for us when we serve God and keeps getting the good for our souls. How much time is wasted unnecessarily and often accumulate expenses to those who profess the gospel! Although Marta was guilty on this occasion was, however, true believer and his general conduct did not neglect the one thing needful. The favor of God is necessary for our happiness, the salvation of Christ is necessary for our security. Where it meets all other things will take their rightful place. Christ said: Mary has chosen the good part. Because one thing is necessary, and this thing did it, surrender to the headship of Christ. The things of this life we \u200b\u200bwill be completely removed when we are removed from it, but nothing will separate us from the love of Christ and to share in that love. Men and devils can not take it away, and God and Christ will not. Concerned with more diligence of the one thing needful. And this is the choice of the good part.
! Grace and peace to your life!
