Luke 10:38-42 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!”

41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.

There was a time when your relationship with the Lord was a source of daily delight rather than a chore. You daily set aside time to be with the Lord, you tuned out distractions and you surrendered your cares to Him, but lately your intimate time with the Lord has faded.

Like Mary and Martha, we are often faced with the choice between busy service and restful devotion. While duties will always exist, Mary chose the "better part" by sitting at the feet of Jesus.

Today is the day to reclaim your strength by choosing to prioritize time with Jesus, who is the sustainer of all things, including peace, joy and rest.

Today is the day of decision making for all of humanity. We can daily spend time at the feet of Jesus and find peace and rest or we can daily attune our ears to the cares of this world and miss the peace and rest that Jesus so desires for us to have.

Mary or Martha! Which are you?

Jesus said Mary chose the “better part” by sitting at His feet and learning of Him.

God bless!
