"Mary Or Martha?"

[38] As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. [39] She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. [40] 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!”

Luke 10:38-40 NIV

For those that work outside of your home:

What's the 1st first thing you do when you get in?

Do you take a moment to reflect on the day you had and acknowledge that it was God who kept you? 

He kept you from that accident that could have happened?

He kept you from getting into an argument with one of your co-workers, kept you doing something you would regret, He kept you.

All day long His Holy Spirit has been your comforter-The reason you didn't get upset, your counselor-talking you through, keeping you company on your lunch break, so that you didn't break.

He's been everything John 14:26 in the AMPC promises He would be.

So, How do you repay His goodness?

Mary came in from the day she had experienced and the bible says, She sat at Jesus feet, listening to what He had to say. She chose to recharge her spirit with His wisdom BEFORE diving into whatever else needed to be done for the day.

But not Martha, Martha was there, complaining to Jesus about all the things that still needed to be done and how she had no help.

She talked to Jesus, but her words were not words of thanksgiving, words of praise and adoration. She didn't give Him the attention He deserved, but yet she expected Him to pay attention to what she needed and DO SOMETHING about it!!

Why are we like that? 

In a world that tempts us daily to be more & more like Martha. I pray we choose Mary, choose Jesus, choose to reverence Him, to honor His Holy Spirit 1st.

Beloved,

Put Him 1st and the other things you need will be added according to Matthew 6:33. 

Take a moment to sit at His feet -the instructions you need are at His feet. Deut 33:3 NIV

Until Next Sunday.
