Luke 10: 38 - 42 | |
38 | Now as they went on their way, he entered a village; and a woman named Martha received him into her house. |
39 | And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. |
40 | But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me." |
41 | But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; |
42 | one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her." |
Jesus calls us to sit, focus and rest in His presence, to hear His words of grace and truth, knowing we are loved by God as His children. In Jesus our faith is renewed and strengthened our service in Christ. We serve Christ for His glory and for His name’s sake..Therefore, confess and repent, focus on Christ and begin faithful service.
Prayer
God of my end, it is my greatest, noblest pleasure to be acquainted with Thee and with my rational, immortal soul; it is sweet and entertaining to look into my being when all my powers and passions are united and engaged in pursuit of Thee, when my soul longs and passionately breathes after conformity to Thee and the full enjoyment of Thee; no hours pass away with so much pleasure as those spent in communion with Thee and with my heart.
