Mary Had Chosen The Best Part

            Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth – Colossians 3:2.

                   In Luke 10:38-42, we see that Martha invited Jesus to her home.  Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore, tell her to help me” – Luke 10:38,39.

              Mary sat at the feet of Jesus and heard His word whereas Martha was troubled by many tasks. Martha’s worry and distraction prevented her from being present with Jesus. And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her” - Luke 10:41,42.

                   Like Mary, let us also choose the best part of seeking God first instead of being worried and distracted by worldly things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you - Mathew 6:33. Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest - Mathew 11:28. Let us love the Lord with all our heart, all our mind, and all our strength.

                                             

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to choose the best part in our life by seeking You first  like Mary. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
