Grace for your spirit June 17, 2008

But the Lord answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her." Luke 10:41-42

Jesus visited the house of Martha and Mary one day. Martha was urgently trying to make a good impression on the Master preparing things for Him. Her sister Mary, sat at the feet of Jesus listening. Martha was irritated and asked Jesus to tell Mary to quit shirking and start working. Jesus told here that there were many things to worry about, but really only one thing was necessary. The words of eternal life outdo the kitchen duties. In our Christian walk we will come to things that are urgent, and those that are truly important. Earthly duties will come and go, but the eternal things abide forever. Let’s be sure and keep our priorities right.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
