THE BETTER PART

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 10:38-41


Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be done. Jesus told Martha, "you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed." It is okay to serve God but do we take time to listen to God? Although, Martha, did a great thing by preparing for the guest (Jesus) it's just that Mary chose the better part by sitting at Jesus' feet to listen to Him.
