ONLY ONE THING NEEDED
Today we read
The story
Of Martha and Mary
You might think
That there is=A RIVALRY
Between the two sisters
BUT NOTHING could be further
From the truth
Jesus is just USING
The setting
To teach us=Yet another lesson
ONLY ONE THING
IS NEEDED=and that is
To worship God
No rivalry here
“There is NEED
Of only ONE THING”
Luke 10:42
“Mary has chosen
WHAT IS BETTER
And it will not be
Taken away from her”
Luke 10:42
Mary and Martha=are BOTH
SERVING God=each
In their respective ways
Both are good
But LISTENING to the Word of God
Reveling in the word of God
Is ALWAYS the better part
Jesus tells us that today
Martha is busy
At the work=of demonstrating HOSPITALITY
And is in the kitchen
Mary is sitting at Jesus’ feet
And listening
FOR the Word Of God
Listening to Jesus=FOLLOWING
The way of God
Is always better to SUSTAIN US
In this life=and FOREVER
“Do not=Be like them
For your Father knows
What you NEED=before you ask him”
Matthew 6:8
Bot sisters are worshipping God
In their own way=but ONLY ONE WAY
Is absolutely needed
LISTENING TO GOD
“The eye cannot say
To the arm=’I don’t NEED YOU!’
And the head=cannot say to
The feet=’I don’t need you!’”
1
Corinthians 12:21
“Share with the Lord’s people
WHO ARE IN NEED
Practice hospitality”
Romans 12:13
BOTH sisters work together
For God=for Jesus
But Mary’s=Is the ONLY
ONE THING that is NEEDED
Give your ATTENTION
To the present moment in God
And you can never do wrong
BOTH WAYS=are ways of WORSHIPPING GOD
Have NO AGENDA=when it comes to
WORSHIPPING God=and always listen
For the words of the Lord
THE ONLY ONE THING NEEDED!
In Jesus’ name and words always and FOREVER
