Mark 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. 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.
What has so pre - occupied your life so much so that you have no time for the Lord, no time to sit at His feet, to dwell on His Word, and soak up His Presence and Wisdom?
Nothing is more important than precious time spent in God's presence. Martha may have been making all the preparations for Jesus, yet Jesus considered time spent with Him more needed and better than time working for Him. For you must know Him personally, to be able to introduce Him to others.
When we spend time with Jesus, we are empowered to do more with less. We can accomplish more with less strength and struggle. With God, we can do more in a shorter time. Why not get empowered? Stay at the feet of Jesus!
