—Luke 10:38-42
by: Paula Reynolds.
When Jesus came to Mary and Martha’s home, Martha busied herself preparing the meal and setting the house in order while Mary sat at Jesus’ feet and listened. When Martha brought to Jesus’ attention that Mary was not helping she demanded that Jesus tell her to help. Like Martha we sometimes get distracted by our busy schedules and family life. We can also be distracted by the things we are doing for God. Like Mary we need to remember that the best thing for us is to sit at Jesus’ feet, putting our faith in him and trusting him to take care of all our needs.
