"38Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. 39And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. 40But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me." 41But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, 42but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her." - Luke 10:38-42
"One thing is necessary," my dearest sister's in Christ out there in the blogger world. Praise God for the purity of His living & active Word, that it is able to give us peace & instruct us! With the busyness of life that catches all of us no matter which season of life you're in. Whether your like me: a young college student. Or if your a mother to young children. No matter what season of life we are in, "busyness" seems to in most cases catch up to us. Dear sisters, may none of us forget the thing that is necessary, even in the midst of busy lives. To spend time at the Lord's feet, in His Word, in prayer, having hearts that are just overflowing with praise to our incredible almighty God! Let us seek to not be anxious and troubled like Martha, thought she did indeed love the Lord, but let us remember that only one thing is necessary. Just as Christ Himself said, "Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her." Spending time at the Lord Almighty's feet is the most important thing any of us can ever do. May we never neglect that one thing in our lives. I hope your hearts are overflowing with love for & praise to the King of kings, and Lord of lords!
Blessings,
Willa
Ahh, so true, my dear Cousin W. Pants. I was just thinking of how many "unnecessary" things clutter up my time and mind. Usually they are there by my own fault- a mess of my own making. Yet, one thing only is necessary!
